Cautious Optimism

It's been just over a day since I had the IUD put in, and I'm... feeling pretty good? At most I have very mild back pain, only a 1 on the pain scale. I ended up using only two of the three heat packs the hospital gave me, and haven't taken any painkillers yet today (though I might take one soon, for just-in-cases).

Considering I went to sleep with the full expectation that I would be cramping horribly within minutes of waking up, if not woken up by cramps in the first place, this is a pleasant surprise.

Edit: Currently need my heat pack again, but it's still worlds better than yesterday. Very cozy.

Right? I did end up getting some minor cramps/back aches in the evening, but really, it's been pretty much smooth sailing since then! I'm fully prepared to believe that I got incredibly lucky rather than this being typical experience, but I'd be ecstatic if it were the other way around.
