HEY!!! I am SOOO happy I found his thread. After reading all this, I JUST took mine out and it was PAINLESS!! done in like 3 seconds!! I'm GRATEFUL for this site! I hate that damn thing!!!! I also have no insurance now, so it was the only way, I just never had the guts to do it...and it was NOTHING!!!
I have a little cramping now, but I am WELCOMING the feeling.... it makes me feel like a normal WOMAN !!!
