Idea for not-for-profit: Young men who complain that condoms are 'uncomfortable' watch me get my Implanon replaced.

Yeah I'd give up ice cream forever if I could make men feel what I feel during IUD insertion and the menstrual pain after.

Oh gosh, really?! I thought of getting one but read some horror stories!

Mine was a super sharp intense pain that only lasted a few seconds. I was given medicine to soften my cervix so that helps. I’m not going to BS and say no pain, it was there and intense but over very quickly. The pain didn’t linger for me, more so the adrenaline. 100% will do again though. 6+ years with no worry of pregnancy, no period and minimal hormonal changes.
Not trying to persuade you either way, just giving you another input.

Worst pain I’ve ever experienced. They did NOTHING to prepare me and didn’t even mention taking a painkiller before I went to my appointment. The second it was in place, I was sobbing. I am rarely one to cry. I lay sobbing on the table for 3 hours until I caved and asked my boyfriend to leave work to pick me up. Their response was to prescribe painkillers and I was useless, on painkillers, in the fetal position until they finally decided to take it out 5 days later. I’ve never set foot in that OB again after getting it removed.

I’ve broken a bone and had a kid and I’d say it’s about in the middle. IUD is the same pain, for me, as my first labor contraction, the one where I KNEW it was time. Honestly breaking my arm was nothing compared to IUD or kiddo
Edit honestly though I love my IUD. a few seconds of pain for no period (for me) and no worry of getting pregnant now

No no no no don’t misconstrue lol.... I said it felt like the first contraction. There was another 14 hours of progressively intensifying contractions after that before pushing for an hour
[–]Sea_SoilFDS Apprentice17 points18 points19 points 5 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
I would gladly do it again. I love my IUD. I have a copper one so it will last 10 years and it's great to not have to ever worry about birth control or subject my body to the havoc that hormones wreak.
Wish I didn't have to go through the pain but there just aren't any better options available to us unfortunately- considering the Copper IUD being completely hormone free, 99.9% effective and lasting 10 years (but you can take it out whenever you want and get pregnant basically immediately afterwards).

There are plenty of stories here so I figure ill add mine.
I went to planned parenthood and intentionally scheduled my appointment with a female doctor. She explained the general information, and she told me i would probably have cramps that feel like period cramps and bleeding.
Now to be fair, i have a pretty high pain tolerance. My tattoo artists have been impressed. But even I have my limits and when they offered me otc pain meds (I think I got ibuprofen) i took them.
As they widened my cervix and implanted it, I could already feel the cramping. I wouldnt say its the worst pain, and maybe im just lucky, but it was definitely there.
After implanting I could almost feel the implant inside of me and it felt almost foreign. They gave me some panty liners and before i knew it, it was over. I was there for maybe an hour and a half.
It almost felt like another, smaller, crampier period. It was about 4 or 5 days long, and i intentionally scheduled the whole week off. I probably couldve worked, but considering the cramps lasted longer than usual on my periods, it was a wise decision imo. Also I wasnt taking otc pain meds during this time, and those wouldve helped.
All in all I say its worth it. I havent experienced anything like what some others have posted about, but i would definitely take it into consideration. If you are worried, im pretty sure most places do consultations before the actual appointment, and you can absolutely bring uo your concerns and they can consider putting in a smaller iud than the copper or mirena, which may be the cause if some of the issues others have spoken about.
Definitely weigh the good with the bad, but i havent regretted my choice :)

Sorry you went through that. I forgot my doctor gave me drugs, as she said was protocol, so I barely felt the IUD insertion.
[–]Sea_SoilFDS Apprentice16 points17 points18 points 5 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
I didn't get any drugs and my uterus was "floating" so she had to clamp it still with an instrument..no biggie just an internal organ being gripped by a metal clamp lol.
It was good preparation for childbirth. I feel like I'll be more prepared going into that. Especially because I want to have a natural birth.

and pay around $500 with no help from health insurance to get your arm sliced open to replace that foreign object.
[–]Splatzy19FDS Newbie46 points47 points48 points 5 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
Not where I live. I pay $40 for the Implanon and then my GP puts it in. Universal healthcare for the win!
[–]hvwthrowawayFDS Newbie34 points35 points36 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
lucky you! healthcare is mandatory in my country (Europe) and I pay hundreds a month, they won't pay a cent for contraception.
[–]Splatzy19FDS Newbie42 points43 points44 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
My annoyance with universal healthcare and mandatory insurance systems is the lack of free access to contraception and dental in some places. Because apparently the in built system that creates another human being and the exposed parts of my skeleton are not considered 'necessary' health care areas?

I bet viagara is covered, though. ::rolls eyes::
[–]hvwthrowawayFDS Newbie28 points29 points30 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
exactly, it's so frustrating! the gyno, dentist and optician/contact lenses are my only regular health-related costs a year, I never get sick to the point I have to visit a doctor, and they won't pay that while I pay them $300 every fucking month, so they can pay off the bills of scrotes who don't take care of their health!
[–]Splatzy19FDS Newbie28 points29 points30 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Oh yes I forgot about eyeballs! Sight = luxury item. Apparently.
[–]SwirlyButterflyFDS Newbie21 points22 points23 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thats so odd to me. I'm in the US so Universal Healthcare is already foreign to me, but I don't see how dentist and eye doctor visits AREN'T covered. Like having healthy teeth and eyesight should be a right to everyone, not a privilege. Going to the eye doctor is so expensive as it is, I have insurance but my eye doctor recently changed their plan, and I had to pay $500 out of pocket last time I was there.
[–]hvwthrowawayFDS Newbie8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
yeah it's really shit isn't it. if I would have more things covered, I would need to pay more each month - which makes no sense to me! I'd rather pay it out of my pocked when I need it...which isn't normally more than once a year than giving away more money each month that I need for food.

Watch me get an oblation done to my cervix after they found precancerous cells. Getting shots in my cervix to numb it hurt so so so fucking bad

Yep so many studies come up with just a quick google about how doctors take women’s and POC’s pain less seriously. White dudes win again.

At this point, I just wonder why we aren't sedated for such things? Why keep us awake for that? Other biopsies, people get put under. My mother was put under for a breast cancer biopsy.

This makes me laugh so hard whenever anyone says it because it’s like, have you forgotten about pants??? Because last I checked, going without them is a serious crime

Being shamed into a having to always wear a bra lest a man see a shadow of a nipple (which they also have??) isn’t even on their radar. God forbid you have to cover your mouth outside, Brad.

[–]hgd29FDS Newbie109 points110 points111 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
...screaming in ecstasy! Prostate stimulation is pleasurable for the majority of men. They probably complain about the exam because they're afraid to admit that they liked it 😂

[–]favoritesoundFDS Newbie13 points14 points15 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait til he’s old enough to warrant prostate exams. Just kidding a lot of men are too insecure in their sexually and postpone that for years.
[–]Equal-Ear2312FDS Apprentice19 points20 points21 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
... when they call an ambulance if they scrape their knees. Men are on a different level, we gotta admit!
My ex got up and left me after I scratched him after he tried engaging with me in violent/rough sex. I had bruises on my buttocks and thighs and he couldn't understand that I could be "passionate" as well. He continued to blame me but months after tried to get in contact again. Nah.
My friends called it bull the first time. He's a guy who sleeps in swamps and eats bugs for a living (military recon) and he broke up over some scratches? Nah, guy was cheating and he didn't want the other girl to notice. Or was I the other girl? Felt like a clown for a couple of days when I still gave him the benefit of the doubt. What an idiot I was! 🤦🤦🤦
[–]souredskittlesFDS Apprentice3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whoa, I never would have thought of that. Not wanting you to leave scratches as to not warn the other woman 🤯
Omg my sisters bf back in the day showed her a scratch across his chest and that he woke up like that. He made it seem like it was spirit or paranormal activity. Wow I just solved that puzzle, actually you solved that puzzle. I was 14 so I def wouldn’t have caught that.

I see your pap smear and raise you a colposcopy.
[+][deleted] 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
[–]ferociouslycuriousFDS Newbie8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Yes. A colposcopy they don’t generally sedate you for. The colonoscopy requires gas dilation of the colon and even the men realize that’s excruciatingly painful (intestines’ only pain receptors are for stretch which is why gas pains are so painful).

Nasal swabs are weird ngl
[–]viellFDS Newbie42 points43 points44 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
In fairness I was also traumatised by the nasal swab, the nurse shoved it in my nose really far with no warning, I started to cry 😅
[–]RadioactiveJoyFDS Disciple4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Same, I’ve been sliced and diced up a lot and the nasal swab is still hell. Getting stabbed is easier, can’t wait for the vaccine.
[–]FeminineImperativeFDS Newbie30 points31 points32 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
As someone who has been stabbed, and also had covid. I would take the swab any day over being stabbed.
[–]gugalgirlFDS Newbie19 points20 points21 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
As someone who just got an IUD two days ago, I am laughing loudly and extendedly at this.
[–]LateShopFDS Newbie5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'll take a daily nasal swab over the menstrual cramps I've had in the past. Hands down.
Pain so bad I couldn't walk. I vomited incessantly till my digestive system was cleared out, and even then I would dry-heave. And pain so bad I started wailing because of it. Also, add a side of hormone-induced IBS cramping.
Men are weak.

Try getting a nasal swab during labor 🙃

“Invasive” what a clown! He should really have an NP or an OP swab done!

Yeah... the COVID brain swabs are way worse than Pap smears.
