Hi Julia! Just wanted to comment that getting an IUD taken out and a new one placed was not nearly as rough as getting the first one in, in my experience. Because you have expectations based on your first experience, I found it helpful to frame it as "one afternoon that is gonna suck" for a great 5 year trade off. I would also recommend that in addition to pain killers before hand, you ask your health care provider for a dose of lorazepam or other anti-anxiety med to help calm you down for the procedure. That certainly helped things go more smoothly on my end!
I came here to comment on this too. Getting your IUD removed is no big deal, unless the strings are gone. Then it gets more complicated, not going to lie. My strings weren’t visible, so that was my experience. But, even with that, it wasn’t very painful. I have a Mirena. I also didn’t know if I wanted to go through the pain of getting another inserted. But I decided that it was worth the trade off for the benefits. I had a new doc insert my current IUD. I told her my concerns based on my previous experience and she was very understanding and talked me through the entire procedure. She was honestly amazing and I didn’t feel anything. Don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor about your first experience and your fears. Like others have suggested they could prescribe something for anxiety. Being relaxed helps make it less painful too.
You're speaking the truth that the second go around is easier! I asked to skip the cervical block because it only elongates the procedure. But still, pain meds *before* the procedure is a must! It's criminal that it's not the standard! I get pain meds for something unrelated and it made the procedure really easy! It's also a good idea to add a benzodiazepine like alprazolam or Valium, as they can help relax the muscles and make things easier. Honestly it's insane that sedatives/adequate pain management/anesthesia isn't the norm. It's wholly unacceptable how women's pain is ignored. Everyone should fight for proper care, no one should have to do it unmedicated and the Tylenol they push on people is a terrible joke.
thank you for this!! my iud is due to come out in 2025 and im super nervous bc i remember getting it put in was kinda traumatic lol. maybe cause i was 17 at the time.
Agree! I have mirena and this is my second time having it, but after 2 kids it’s no big deal 😅 glad you have more time! In the grand scheme of things it is only a few minutes, practice deep breathing during and relaxing your pelvic floor, maybe put in headphones and a song too ❤
Be careful traveling with the Rare Beauty highlighter. For some reason, the formula is very delicate and shatters easily. I LOVE the Burnt Pepper blush!
For your IUD, ask what pain management options they are able to do! My OBGYN offered to do the procedure with Valium to relax my muscles and some will use paracervical blockers to help with the pain. It’s always worth asking. If not, the stick in the arm is just as effective and can be inserted after numbing. The pain similar to a rough shot. That lasts three years but is much less painful.
I will say, as someone who had to get my old IUD out and a new one inserted the same day (with NO painkillers!)... getting it taken out is fine. Just be sure to take a bunch of ibuprofen an hour before your appointment :)
i totally feel the dread about the IUD!! i’m a trans guy and i’m getting mine replaced next month and i literally can’t stop thinking about it. when i got it placed the first time i almost passed out from the pain. it’s so stressful and obgyn visits always feel so invasive for me, but i’m still soooo glad i chose it over the pill bc i can put it out of my mind for the next five years lol
I was a birth doula for many years and many doulas go with people to procedures, exams, appointments of all types (Not limited to gyno health either, I myself was a pain and chemo doula). They are often called full spectrum doulas if you want to find one in your area. A little bit of support can go a long way in reducing anxiety and pain. We as a species are not meant to do our health care alone ✨
Girl I feel you on that IUD pain. I expected it, but I still almost blacked out. Everyone was really great about it though, they didn't need the room for any upcoming appts so they let me lay in there for as long as I needed, and it was about 45 mins. I got ice cream and went home to get in bed 😅But they're really effective, and I'm glad I got it. It's scary and painful, but temporary. I hope you can keep that in mind when you get yours swapped out, that it's only temporary!
I didn’t get another IUD because of the installation pain Thankfully the removal was nothing near the discomfort of the installation! It was super fast and almost no pain. I had the same anxiety about it
Hey Julia, I also got my Kyleena IUD this year and I must say: I didn’t feel any pain while inserted. One big tip is to take some pain meds before the appointment. I took Ibuprofen and dafalgan (you can combine the two) an hour before insertion. I only felt a little crampy feeling for like 2 seconds and that’s it. Also afterwards I had little cramps like period cramps but way lighter. So def recommend taking pain meds!
I was also so scared of getting my IUD out! It’s actually not bad. No where close to getting it in. They found the strings then told me to cough on 3. The cough was all the distraction I needed. It was quick and painless for me. I had some minor cramping for a few hours. I also stressed so much about this process. This was just my experience but I hope it eases your mind a bit ❤
As always I love your videos and your channel. It's great that you stick to everything makeup and not get into other things like household products or things not related to makeup. BTW I love your hair straight.... so pretty!!!!
When you watch Julia so much you have nearly all the products she does and can do your summer makeup with her! ❤💋 Fabulous look!! I brought the Nyx glow shots, UD space cowboy and About Face Capulets with me recently on my little beach 🏝️ vacay. Some waterproof mascara and Pat McGrath Black Coffee liner was all I needed for eyes! Lippies were another story!
I feel you on the health anxiety. It makes you worry about stuff you would never think about when your mental health is good. And I feel you on the IUD😂 I had one inserted like 5 years ago. Biggest pain Ive ever felt, it kind of traumatized me Im not gonna lie. It had to be taken out after 5 months because my body couldnt handle it. So all this pain for northing. But Im honest I wouldnt do it again without general anesthetic. On the lighter note I love you with straight hair it looks beautiful as well❤
Love this type of video because it gives me ideas for paring down my travel makeup, I tend to bring too much. Also enjoy seeing what staple products you are using .This is a cute look for summer!
tmi but as for the iud removal, it was a RELIEF when I got mine removed, it wasn’t nearly as terrible as getting it!! I cried happy tears when they removed it & I switched back to the pill, NEVER AGAIN!! 💛 hope this relieves a lil stress :) love this look!!!
As someone who used to work in a hospital and has watched hundreds of IUD insertions and removals, it is much more painful to get the IUD placed than to get it taken out!
I love these types of videos! It’s so neat to see what people actually bring on vacays or just grwm’s with products you are loving or currently have. Also may I ask what color of the nyx concealer you use for your face and not the under eye?
If you're interested, I'd maybe look into the nexplanon arm implant! I don't have it personally bc I use continuous birth control and don't get periods but a few friends have the nexplanon and say it wasn't that painful and works very well for them!
Copper IUD experience from New Zealand here! (we have subsidised sexual health care thank fuck). I blacked out from the pain (and ptsd) getting my 5yr one, which also caused a lot of spontaneous cramping attacks for the first year. When it was time to remove it I made sure the clinic had pre-prescribed anxiolytics (e.g. benzodiazepines) and had a space for me to recover after emotionally and lie down with a hot water bottle. When they removed it I got them to quickly whip in the 10yr one, which funnily enough has given me no problems at all! Dr said that's because it has shorter arms on the "T" with a longer stem, whether the 5 year one has longer arms that tend to cause more uterine irritation i.e. your uterus is like wtf is this foreign object poking into me I must cramp immediately to eject it.
@laurasenz the nurse at the Family Planning clinic assisting said she got hers done privately under general and that she felt so bad for the pain I was in. If men had to go through contraception procedures like this, it would most definitely be subsidised at a public level!
Also I definitely agree with the comparison to a colonoscopy (without the prep obvs) or any other endoscopic internal procedure. The nausea response to having your cervix touched is clear enough that this isn't an easy 1hr appointment & done kind of procedure.
OMG! I feel ya about the IUD placement/removal. I told my GYN that mine will have to just rot inside me unless I can get anesthesia. I've only had one other experience that painful - an endometrial biopsy. During my last removal/replacement my arms had a mind of their own and my whole body was making these thrashing movements. Afterward, they left me in the darkened room but I quickly found myself in the bathroom throwing up. I actually have a relatively high pain tolerance. When I broke and dislocated my ankle, my first reaction was to actually set it myself, unsuccessfully of course.
Real talk, I was so nervous when I got my IUD out and it caused only a slight sensation, and then my body breathed the biggest sigh of relief. I also heard that the mirena IUD is usually too big for someone who has not had a child. I had crazy pain like that when I got that one in too.
Let me assure you of the IUD removal. It is much more painful to get it put in than taken out. There is no extra medication or prep needed for removal. I had mine removed like 2 months ago and I was an anxious mess. I'm taking a mini break from it atm but if you don't get another inserted in the same appointment it's quick. It was uncomfortable but no where near as much as the insertion. The whole appointment lasted 35-45 minutes with waiting and the whole removal process took about 5 minutes.
i hated the iud. nexplanon all the way. similar hormones if i’m remembering correctly and it’s basically painless. and i know where it is. no need to wonder oh did the doctor insert the iud correctly ? idkkkkkkk i effing hated the iud and had it taken out.
@@sea_g0at They are not for everyone. Unfortunately due to health issues, a non-hormonal or very low hormone IUD is basically my option for birth control. So I'm familiar with them
@@LucisZ39 ah dang. i’m sorry :( i didn’t mean to sound rude. i just like to advocate for it because i’ve met so many people who literally didn’t know it existed. so basically i never shut up about it. that and period panties. and the importance of probiotics. apparently i have a lot of strong feelings regarding vaginal health hahaha (i almost wrote coochie care smh)
I’m on my 3rd Mirena. I hear you…the cramping is so bad. I make sure I take ibuprofen about an hour before and that helps. Yup, it hurts but it’s definitely worth it to me. I don’t have to worry about it and the pain of childbirth is much worse.
Yahoo! Calgarian here and If you’re still at stampede you should try the Dunkaroo mini donuts! Also would love to see you do another look with the Melt Muerte Pallet if you still have it! They re-released it and I watched your older videos on it and you seemed so inspired by it. Would love love love to see you use it again
Used an IUD for several years before my Beloved got his bag tailored for my birthday one year. Highly recommend, in spite of pain. How do those Nyx topper shades smell to you? The one I bought smelled very strongly of paint solvent to me. Had to toss it.
Omg I had absolutely zero pain when I had my IUD replaced and taken out. Although I had zero pain as well having it put in, maybe just a smidge of cramping for a short period of time. But when my dr took it out she said it’s out! And I said really? I didn’t feel a thing!
I know you've left on your trip already Julia - but I just wanted to say that 1. You look beautiful as always! 2. I can completely relate to your feelings of anxiety when things are coming up whether they are good things you're looking forward to or not so good things you're not looking so forward to. And finally, I hope you're having a fun time at your event & that it was all better once you were actually there! Our head is such a bad neighborhood sometimes& the mind f*cking is real! I haven't left my apt in weeks & Im so tired of fighting myself - Im much older than you but I do remember once upon a time - how once I'd be in or at the thing that was giving me the anxiety it was always better than I imagined. I'm sorry you have to deal with the anxiety but I'm glad you are pushing through!! Thank you for giving me something to watch that I enjoy!! Be Well my friend!! ❣
We are kyleena twins bc I thought I had to replace mine in August but it is also next year. I will be asking for local anesthetic. I had it for a different procedure and i didnt feel a single thing. Advocate for yourself! ask what they can do for anesthesia!
I'm going through the adaptation period of the kyleena and it's been a toll on my mental health because of the cramps. Did you have any problems with it? I'd love to know your experience with it, specially since it's been four years!
@@knjparadise It's been four months now. My doctor told me the same thing and I have contacted him multiple times since. Luckily he teaches at the same university I go to, mainly supervising interns at the uni's hospital, so he was able to give me a few ultrasound exams there throughout these months and everything is in place. The cramps have been decreasing in intensity over this period, but I think the main issue is that I already had horrible cramps before, and I've heard about other people who had them get worse before subduing. How has your experience been? Are you adjusting well? 🌻
@@tonksbond i cramped the day of and it was pretty much gone within a week. my first couple periods were awful but i think that's expected with the copper one
Ohh I totally get you on the IUD, I have Mirena and it was super painful the insertion as well, but I dont doubt to go though it again at all, because has been the best thing ever for me...and the insertion while is awful, is just like 5 min...is worth it for 5 years🙌🏻
I love this look!! So Summery and beautiful! I love when you do these types of eyeshadow looks, so intricate and easy!! You inspire me so much! Definitely recreating this look tomorrow🥰You look gorgeous in these tones!
The pain of me getting my Paragard IUD out was nothing compared to getting it inserted. You feel totally fine after. But for the insertion!! HOLY BAJEEZUS. I can’t believe I drove myself to the clinic on my insertion day. 🥴😵😵😵
Getting the IUD out was way less painful than getting it in! It was super painful to get it in, and I only had it for 10 months bc it didn't work out for me. I ended up having 15 day period cramps and bleeding every month, and no I didn't get copper I got hormonal one. I think they had put in a 7 year one. Anyway, it was a huge relief for me to get it out and the removal felt nothing like getting it in. I think maybe it wouldn't be as bad getting the second one in. Just wanted you to know that going out is not the same as going in, so it won't be twice as bad when you get it replaced eventually 😊
Feel you with the IUD insertion pain.. I have an appointment booked in september to exchange it. I called and asked if they provide pain relif, so I will get numbing spray/cream for my next insertion. Hopefully it will help with the pain 🤞
I have the same IUD and I think this is the year I need mine out. It was put in when I had an endoscopy done so I wasnt awake for the insertion. i'm so nervous i'm seriously considering going to the bar next store and having a drink before it lol
I can’t tolerate even a speculum so an IUD would be impossible for me. I tried various contraceptive pills over the years, which did work great and made my skin nice, but you have to keep remembering to take it.
Hi, Julia! I love all your videos. Would you consider doing a Barbie-inspired makeup look ahead of the movie coming out? Also, I'd love to see a little fashion content because I really enjoyed when you'd show your OOTD in your vlogs.
Hi. I've just had my IUD changed and a smear in the same app! Wasn't expecting that one. Like you, the anxiety was off the charts, however, it wasn't as bad. The doctor was so lovely and talked me through it all. This time, they even offered me a spray, which numbed my cervix. That wasn't offered when I had it first put in. I am in the UK, so I'm not sure if it's the same as Canada, but it's worth an ask. I have a tilted uterus, which also involuntarily contracts when stressed, so you can imagine my worry. All in all, wasn't as bad as I was expecting and I now have 6 years period free
Girl getting your iud out is a breeze. I've gotten 2 out. Take an advil before just in case. And yes having it inserted SUCKS agreed. Cant believe I've had them inserted 3x now lol. But the one I have now is a 10 yr one amen to that
I love the look you created using your favorite products right now, especially the easy but beautiful eye look!😍 I just wanted to let you know as well that I have the Paraguard IUD and am on my 2nd one. I got my first one after I had my son almost 15 years ago and had it removed after 10 years because it's the copper one without any hormones. I was also worried going in to get it removed but it was already done before I even knew it happened, removal is a lot easier than insertion. Also, I had another one put in after I had my almost 4yo daughter and everything has been good. I know it can be a pain to get it done but with this one I'm worry free for 10 years and also don't get any unneeded hormones. Hope this helps and I hope you had fun!❤
When i enquired about an IUD the GP said whatever you do go under to get it in and out ( its like 5 min under twighlight sedation) They said the pain is unreal and to just do it in a clinic was barbaric 😮😮
Getting an IUD is awful - I almost fainted in the waiting room when I went to get up and schedule my follow-up. I've heard that some doctors will do local anesthetic. Honestly, not giving women local anesthetic or something other than ibuprofen for the pain is pretty barbaric. I follow some docs on TikTok that discuss how horrific so much of women's medicine and care is. So that's my rec: try to find a doc that will give you some local numbing or pain relief instead of telling you "this is going to be a little pinch" before giving you a cup with 2 ibuprofen and sending you on your way.
Having an IUD removed is a breeze, they tell you to cough and bam, it’s out. If you want a new one, ask your doc for medication that opens your cervix up a little, it makes insertion less painful.
You should ask for a general anesthetic for your IUD! If the OB doesn’t offer it call around. Seriously we women have to advocate for ourselves and experiencing horrendous pain while getting an IUD is not acceptable.
do the implant instead of the IUD!!! i freaking hated the iud. i didnt like not being able to know if it was inserted wrong. i hated the pain. the implant is simlimar or the same hormones but it goes in your arm. i can feel the tiny little thing and know it’s where it needs to be. they numb the area so all you feel is a little shot. some people experience inconsistent bleeding for months and i KNOW that’s frustrating but YALL. then you’re good. you have it for years then you switch it out. your body is already adjusted to the hormones so you don’t experience the same adjustment period. it’s 99.99% effective and i like that i don’t have to count on the doctor having inserted it correctly because it’s just. in my arm. big big fan. at the same level of effectiveness as a vasectomy. and it’s consistent. no need to remember pills.
They really need to start giving women pain meds during iud placement and removal. They can charge us we do not care to feel nothing! That pain is insane 😭
i am a primary care provider, just FYI it does not hurt when you take it out :) i know its a pain in the butt when you put it in! trust us we know it as well
Can’t wait for your mid year makeup collection and declutter 😩♥️😍
I think it'd be cool to see half all cream/liquid products vs half all powder products.

It was uncomfortable but no where near as much as the insertion. The whole appointment lasted 35-45 minutes with waiting and the whole removal process took about 5 minutes.
i hated the iud. nexplanon all the way. similar hormones if i’m remembering correctly and it’s basically painless. and i know where it is. no need to wonder oh did the doctor insert the iud correctly ? idkkkkkkk i effing hated the iud and had it taken out.
@@sea_g0at They are not for everyone. Unfortunately due to health issues, a non-hormonal or very low hormone IUD is basically my option for birth control. So I'm familiar with them
@@LucisZ39 ah dang. i’m sorry :( i didn’t mean to sound rude. i just like to advocate for it because i’ve met so many people who literally didn’t know it existed. so basically i never shut up about it. that and period panties. and the importance of probiotics. apparently i have a lot of strong feelings regarding vaginal health hahaha (i almost wrote coochie care smh)
When I got mine out it didn’t hurt at all compared to getting it put in❤️
I’m on my 3rd Mirena. I hear you…the cramping is so bad. I make sure I take ibuprofen about an hour before and that helps. Yup, it hurts but it’s definitely worth it to me. I don’t have to worry about it and the pain of childbirth is much worse.
Yahoo! Calgarian here and If you’re still at stampede you should try the Dunkaroo mini donuts!
Also would love to see you do another look with the Melt Muerte Pallet if you still have it! They re-released it and I watched your older videos on it and you seemed so inspired by it. Would love love love to see you use it again
Your nails hypnotize me ! Love them so so much 😍
Can’t wait to receive my order from yesstyle and can’t wait to see your part 2 of kbeauty 😜
Used an IUD for several years before my Beloved got his bag tailored for my birthday one year. Highly recommend, in spite of pain. How do those Nyx topper shades smell to you? The one I bought smelled very strongly of paint solvent to me. Had to toss it.
Omg I had absolutely zero pain when I had my IUD replaced and taken out. Although I had zero pain as well having it put in, maybe just a smidge of cramping for a short period of time. But when my dr took it out she said it’s out! And I said really? I didn’t feel a thing!
This was a fun video!! Does Ren and Lani get upset when you go places? Mine do. I hope you have a good time.😊💝
the face after saying "im such a pedro pas-gal" 😅
I know you've left on your trip already Julia - but I just wanted to say that 1. You look beautiful as always! 2. I can completely relate to your feelings of anxiety when things are coming up whether they are good things you're looking forward to or not so good things you're not looking so forward to. And finally, I hope you're having a fun time at your event & that it was all better once you were actually there! Our head is such a bad neighborhood sometimes& the mind f*cking is real! I haven't left my apt in weeks & Im so tired of fighting myself - Im much older than you but I do remember once upon a time - how once I'd be in or at the thing that was giving me the anxiety it was always better than I imagined. I'm sorry you have to deal with the anxiety but I'm glad you are pushing through!! Thank you for giving me something to watch that I enjoy!! Be Well my friend!! ❣
I love your videos Julia, they’re so calming and happy
We are kyleena twins bc I thought I had to replace mine in August but it is also next year. I will be asking for local anesthetic. I had it for a different procedure and i didnt feel a single thing. Advocate for yourself! ask what they can do for anesthesia!
I'm going through the adaptation period of the kyleena and it's been a toll on my mental health because of the cramps. Did you have any problems with it? I'd love to know your experience with it, specially since it's been four years!
how long have you had it fkr? i have a copper one and my doctor told me to contact them if the camping was really bad
@@knjparadise It's been four months now. My doctor told me the same thing and I have contacted him multiple times since. Luckily he teaches at the same university I go to, mainly supervising interns at the uni's hospital, so he was able to give me a few ultrasound exams there throughout these months and everything is in place. The cramps have been decreasing in intensity over this period, but I think the main issue is that I already had horrible cramps before, and I've heard about other people who had them get worse before subduing.
How has your experience been? Are you adjusting well? 🌻
@@tonksbond i cramped the day of and it was pretty much gone within a week. my first couple periods were awful but i think that's expected with the copper one
Waiting for more k beauty videos Julia!
Have u tried the shade Virtue from Rare Beauty? I recently fell in LOVE 🥰
Ohh I totally get you on the IUD, I have Mirena and it was super painful the insertion as well, but I dont doubt to go though it again at all, because has been the best thing ever for me...and the insertion while is awful, is just like 5 min...is worth it for 5 years🙌🏻
I love this look!! So Summery and beautiful! I love when you do these types of eyeshadow looks, so intricate and easy!! You inspire me so much! Definitely recreating this look tomorrow🥰You look gorgeous in these tones!
I love this video and want it more often! I also love Mac whirl for the summer. Enjoy your trip :)
Impatiently waiting for my romand lip products to get here, 100% influenced 😍
Same!
Stunning ❤
The pain of me getting my Paragard IUD out was nothing compared to getting it inserted. You feel totally fine after. But for the insertion!! HOLY BAJEEZUS. I can’t believe I drove myself to the clinic on my insertion day. 🥴😵😵😵
Getting the IUD out was way less painful than getting it in! It was super painful to get it in, and I only had it for 10 months bc it didn't work out for me. I ended up having 15 day period cramps and bleeding every month, and no I didn't get copper I got hormonal one. I think they had put in a 7 year one. Anyway, it was a huge relief for me to get it out and the removal felt nothing like getting it in. I think maybe it wouldn't be as bad getting the second one in. Just wanted you to know that going out is not the same as going in, so it won't be twice as bad when you get it replaced eventually 😊
Love this!
Feel you with the IUD insertion pain.. I have an appointment booked in september to exchange it. I called and asked if they provide pain relif, so I will get numbing spray/cream for my next insertion. Hopefully it will help with the pain 🤞
I also have the kyleena 😊
Great video! ❤
I have the same IUD and I think this is the year I need mine out. It was put in when I had an endoscopy done so I wasnt awake for the insertion. i'm so nervous i'm seriously considering going to the bar next store and having a drink before it lol
I can’t tolerate even a speculum so an IUD would be impossible for me. I tried various contraceptive pills over the years, which did work great and made my skin nice, but you have to keep remembering to take it.
Hi, Julia! I love all your videos. Would you consider doing a Barbie-inspired makeup look ahead of the movie coming out? Also, I'd love to see a little fashion content because I really enjoyed when you'd show your OOTD in your vlogs.
I’m filming a Barbie makeup look today!!!
@@JuliaAdamsMUA WOOOOOOO! Barbie Summer!
Yaaaayyy!!
Hi. I've just had my IUD changed and a smear in the same app! Wasn't expecting that one. Like you, the anxiety was off the charts, however, it wasn't as bad. The doctor was so lovely and talked me through it all. This time, they even offered me a spray, which numbed my cervix. That wasn't offered when I had it first put in. I am in the UK, so I'm not sure if it's the same as Canada, but it's worth an ask. I have a tilted uterus, which also involuntarily contracts when stressed, so you can imagine my worry. All in all, wasn't as bad as I was expecting and I now have 6 years period free
Girl getting your iud out is a breeze. I've gotten 2 out. Take an advil before just in case. And yes having it inserted SUCKS agreed. Cant believe I've had them inserted 3x now lol. But the one I have now is a 10 yr one amen to that
This makes me feel a bit better 😂❤️
Good news, IUD’s coming out are WAY easier than them going in!
i love pack with me videos
I love the look you created using your favorite products right now, especially the easy but beautiful eye look!😍 I just wanted to let you know as well that I have the Paraguard IUD and am on my 2nd one. I got my first one after I had my son almost 15 years ago and had it removed after 10 years because it's the copper one without any hormones. I was also worried going in to get it removed but it was already done before I even knew it happened, removal is a lot easier than insertion. Also, I had another one put in after I had my almost 4yo daughter and everything has been good. I know it can be a pain to get it done but with this one I'm worry free for 10 years and also don't get any unneeded hormones. Hope this helps and I hope you had fun!❤
i like your makeup😘
What is your summer shade in the nyx serum concealer? 😊
When i enquired about an IUD the GP said whatever you do go under to get it in and out ( its like 5 min under twighlight sedation)
They said the pain is unreal and to just do it in a clinic was barbaric 😮😮
For me, getting it taken out was way less painful than getting my IUD put it. I had Mirena though
The happiest thing every day is watching your video, I really like it, I hope you can pay attention to me
Does anyone know her shade in the NYX concealer? She's my shade twin
Getting an IUD is awful - I almost fainted in the waiting room when I went to get up and schedule my follow-up. I've heard that some doctors will do local anesthetic. Honestly, not giving women local anesthetic or something other than ibuprofen for the pain is pretty barbaric. I follow some docs on TikTok that discuss how horrific so much of women's medicine and care is. So that's my rec: try to find a doc that will give you some local numbing or pain relief instead of telling you "this is going to be a little pinch" before giving you a cup with 2 ibuprofen and sending you on your way.
What hair dye are you using?😊
3.43-3.45 TWSS (the office)
Having an IUD removed is a breeze, they tell you to cough and bam, it’s out. If you want a new one, ask your doc for medication that opens your cervix up a little, it makes insertion less painful.
I thought my IUD replacement was easier than the initial IUD. it still hurts but hurts way less than that first IUD insertion
I am in AB as well, how do you get Romand ? Also crying that Armani lip meastro doesn’t ship to Canada now, no idea how to get that 😭
She did a YesStyle shop-with-me not long ago. They ship to Canada.
@@mizshellytee Thankyou !
I didnt think taking the IUD out was painful at all, for what its worth. But I know everyone is different
🤠 julia at the stampede hehe
& I hated my life there ahahaha
Oh nooo, why?!
❤❤❤❤
You should ask for a general anesthetic for your IUD! If the OB doesn’t offer it call around. Seriously we women have to advocate for ourselves and experiencing horrendous pain while getting an IUD is not acceptable.
do the implant instead of the IUD!!! i freaking hated the iud. i didnt like not being able to know if it was inserted wrong. i hated the pain. the implant is simlimar or the same hormones but it goes in your arm. i can feel the tiny little thing and know it’s where it needs to be. they numb the area so all you feel is a little shot. some people experience inconsistent bleeding for months and i KNOW that’s frustrating but YALL. then you’re good. you have it for years then you switch it out. your body is already adjusted to the hormones so you don’t experience the same adjustment period. it’s 99.99% effective and i like that i don’t have to count on the doctor having inserted it correctly because it’s just. in my arm. big big fan. at the same level of effectiveness as a vasectomy. and it’s consistent. no need to remember pills.
They really need to start giving women pain meds during iud placement and removal. They can charge us we do not care to feel nothing! That pain is insane 😭
i am a primary care provider, just FYI it does not hurt when you take it out :) i know its a pain in the butt when you put it in! trust us we know it as well
curls suit u better
