Reply to comment by rock_out_w_sox_out in IUD Replacement by Worf0fWallStreet

I went to PP for my first insertion and they were great! Even if they don't numb you, I honestly found it relatively manageable because they were so fast and efficient.

Had my second insertion at CWC and it was a NIGHTMARE. I'd gone for surgery with them and was doing a combined follow-up and insertion with the surgeon and he had to do it TWICE because he didn't seat it correctly the first time.

I went to CWC, it didn’t really hurt, just a pinch and less than getting a shot. They did it during my period (so cervix is more open naturally) and told me to take ibuprofen ahead of time.

Yeah, I think CWC as a place is hard to assess because there are so many offices and doctors! I was already a little salty at this guy after he expressed vocal disbelief that I'd had my copper IUD for the full 10 years. Don't know what to tell you, buddy, I def don't want kids.

The double insertion was the cherry on top.

Wow that’s truly awful. You should name your OBGYN for the OP. Mine is Kenneth Blank, he was good

I didn't think I'd remember him since it's been a few years, but it was Brad Norman. He works out of a couple of their locations.

No complaints about the surgery he performed but he was truly living up to the stereotypes about surgeons and bedside manner with the IUD stuff.

It’s definitely dependent upon provider. I had a horrific experience there trying to get my implant replaced.
