A lot of doctors are absolutely dogshit at inserting them, causing a lot of unnecessary pain.
If you have a low/tilted cervix, or your partner is a bit too well endowed, it also makes sex uncomfortable or outright painful for both parties.
IUD’s only work for people with no other issues or health problems, and only if you get a doctor that cares about not making their patient uncomfortable.
Mine was trying to expel itself and it was so painful I was apparently “ashy colored” according to colleagues and sweating due to aforementioned pain. The cramping was about as bad as labor pain.
The string was wrapped around the device and wasn’t accessible from outside of the cervix, so the doctor had to dig it out with forceps (?)
At least after it was out, certain symptoms I had for years disappeared… So yay for that!
It turns out that level of pain is not normal. Oops.
My friends told me I should try the arm implant. After the rotten luck I’ve had with hormonal birth control, no thanks!
At least they give a local (or whatever it’s in English) for when you get the implant… I had one (3 year one) for like 2 years and 2 months. Had no issues until I hit the 2 years mark, after that started having bad, bad side-effects. And it took the 2 months to get it removed… It was hell. But it was also alright for the 2 years and it healed very fast and well. Kinda recommend it, but yeah, it won’t last the “promised” time and removal can be a hassle depending the healthcare systems.
Decided to not get anything hormonal for now, and boy is my body messed up after about 10 years of hormones… I guess it’ll get better within a year. Now I just gotta listen all the nurses and doctors panic and pressure me back into hormones, I guess they really are afraid of some latex lol. (Waiting for a vasectomy for the partner.)
And there have been some follow up studies on the arm implant that show it may not be as safe/side effect free as it claims, especially for those with PMOS (PCOS), and, as in your case,side effects tend to get more common the longer you have one.
Ok the other hand, for people with painful period cramps they can actually help things quite a bit when installed (is that the right word here?) correctly
For people with PCOS (recently renamed to PMOS) IUDs often do the opposite, and they require a hormone option to regulate their periods/reduce the intensity of cramps.

Honestly some of the horror stories I’ve heard, hysterectomy seems kinder and safer.

Pros: It’s how I found out my spear is indeed long
Cons: it shrivels into my body when recalling that experience because painful is putting it mildly.
I’d rather the male pill contraceptive be on the market already.

Inserted would be the correct word for this.
