How to get an IUD
It made me
dizzy 
"painful but hopefully worth it"
How I did it: i finally got a Paragard. it took awhile between the ob/gyn consult, insurance approval, and insertion, but i'm done (i think) and happy so far. dilation and insertion were a bit painful and i felt sick immediately afterward, with lightheadedness, nausea, and low BP. i had pretty intense cramps for the three nights post-insertion. assuming i don't encounter any future problems like expulsion or intolerable periods, i'll be a happy girl! no babies for only $90!
Lessons & tips: get it done at a time when you won't have work for a few days. i had mine inserted on a Friday and suffered with cramps through the weekend.
