Hi Samantha It is not common to be put to sleep for an Intrauterine Device (IUD ) insertion.If you had a vaginal ,not Cesarean Birth,the cervical opening was working at the time of your delivery.It is safest to stop if the IUD insertion is not easily done to prevent uterine perforation,(a hole in the uterus) a rare but heard of complication of insertion. It sounds like you still need birth control right now until this is resolved. It is best to ask more questions such as other options of birth control. Also ,ask your doctor what happened that prevented the insertion. If your treatments were for cervical cancer ,then ask if scarring has made an IUD insertion to difficult. Please let us know what happens.Take care.JoAnn NP At Wed, 25 Jun 2008, Samantha R wrote: >
