Hi there! I had mine out this morning. The speculum was more uncomfortable than the removal itself. I barely felt a thing. I drove myself to and from the appt. I started bleeding about an hour after removal and continur to wear a pad. I'm not bledding like a period though. I walked 3 miles about 2 hours after removal, took my son to the park, and ran some errands. No big deal! I am in no pain!
