Ibuprofen is commonly used over the counter and prescribed for pain relief such as menstrual cramps. Intrauterine (IUD) insertion can cause pain during and after the insertion. Currently, studies have found that single dose of Ibuprofen take prior to IUD insertion does decrease pain at time of IUD insertion. This study will examine whether 3 doses of Ibuprofen can decrease pain at time of and 1 day after IUD insertion.
