    Wait so if its local anesthesia does that men your girlfriend had an injection into her cervix directly?? Because the idea of that makes me want to scream.

      Yes. But the alternative is to feel the IUD penetrate the cervix and then hook into the uterus. And if youre getting a replacement, like was the case for her, you get to go through all of that backwards beforehand as well. It makes a prick from a syringe (although painful) seem pretty good by comparison.
