Intrauterine device Puns

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I thought about give a go.

So, 2 years ago I had an copper IUD insertion and I’m a bit traumatised and anxious about the removal

I know it could be a bit uncomfortable but I had the most painful experience in my life, I felt sick and I nearly passed out. My question is, can I request an injection to numb the place when it comes the time to remove ?

Should I go to a private clinic to make sure they will give me something for the possible pain?

Any advice would be appreciated

My apologies for the weirdly worded title. I was tired when I wrote it.

I was speaking to a friend of mine this story who lives in Europe where they don’t have these issues and debates over abortion and reproductive care like they do here. He was so shocked and baffled, that honestly it surprised me.

So I am a woman who was born and raised in Texas. I’m in my late 20s. I currently live in another state but I still have many friends and loved ones in Texas. I’m now realizing how that toxic mentality leeched through into my gyno office when I was 19.

I got my first IUD put in when I was living in Texas. I was 19 and still a Virgin but I was leaving for college and I wanted to be prepared because I figured I would probably end up having sex in college. I was planning on using condoms because I didn’t want to risk STIs, but I knew those could break so I wanted to get an IUD as a precaution.

The gyno was an older woman. Any time I asked her anything about safe sex she would answer my questions before finishing up with “but ultimately the best thing to do is to abstain from sexual activity unless you’re in a committed relationship.” at this point in my life I would be horrified if a gyno told me this now because that’s extremely unrealistic and insensitive. At that point in my life I was raised around that sort of rhetoric so I wasn’t as phased.

Eventually I told my mother I wanted to get an IUD to be smart in college. She said that was smart and got me an appointment (I still lived at home) I told my gyno I wanted to get IUD. And she kept asking me why I wanted to be put on birth control since I was single at the time. I told her I was going to college and I wanted to be smart incase I got into a relationship in college. Honestly it was cuz I had a feeling I would experiment sexually a bit. But I knew she wouldn’t like that answer. She seemed genuinely bothered by the fact I wanted an IUD because I was both single, and not a mother tryin to prevent another baby. But she agreed.

So the day came. I was told to take a few aspirin beforehand. I forgot to do so, and so I was given a few before getting on the table. For those who don’t know, an IUD is inserted into the uterus through the cervix. The cervix is a very tightly closed muscle to keep the uterus safe and sterile. So they have to dilate the cervix. This is extremely unpleasant. There is a muscle relaxant they put on it that helps relax.

I think the OBGYN intentionally didn’t give me the muscl
