Hi there!
I'm with a male partner so birth control is a concern for me. I was on pills prior to Testosterone, but my doctor has recommended that I switch over to Paragard, non-hormonal IUD. I've been on a waiting list and insertion is Thursday, and I'm super anxious about it. :/

Is there any way that possible effects from Testosterone on my nether regions would make insertion more painful?
I'm nervous about the pain, and the possibility of my shark week coming back when it's been gone for 3.5 months (since I started T.)

Shared opinions and experiences would be very welcome!! <3

On T since early March 2015.
Expected Top Surgery: Summer 2016.
