It sucks to feel so crappy like that. I am with you, I hate puking too. I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.
I wonder why it hurts so much to have an IUD put in? I have never had one (cause, well, I am a lesbian so it is not really an issue). I do, however, have to take the pill because of PCOS but I digress.
I wonder if the insertion of an IUD and the opening of the cervix causes some hormones to be released that make you feel sick? You would probably know cause you have the PhD in science.

Well, it mostly feels like the uterine muscles contracting and I've heard that women sometimes puke during labour, so perhaps it's something to do with that. I hadn't thought of hormones, but that's totally possible.

So what's an IUD?
That's probably the most standardly boy and standardly gay thing I could say, and I know I could Google it (and yes I've figured out what it's for). But I'm wondering I guess why you'd choose it as a pregnancy prevention option if it's so painful. Granted, okay, you're only having to handle it once every five years, but it sounds pretty awful.

To me pain once every five years, even extreme pain, beats screwing around with hormones + the hassle of taking a pill *every* *single* *day*. It's idiot-proof - you don't have to do anything and you get the highest level of protection of any method of birth control.

I barely felt them put in my IUD, but then again, I had just had a baby. And, I had them cut my strings at my last appointment, so now I don't have any IUD pain (the doctor said he had never seen strings so long). I hate throwing up too. It makes me cry. I didn't throw up during labor though. Ah, good times!

Well, that's good to hear that you didn't throw up during labour! I think labour sounds bad enough without adding vomitting into the mix!
