Sex should not hurt after IUD insertion. If it does, it may indicate that the IUD is not in place (is being expelled) and may be ineffective. Use a backup method of Birth Control until you can confirm with your health care provider that the IUD is in place.
IUD insertion pain can vary from person to person. Unfortunately, there is not a great drug to take to make insertion less painful. You can try taking ibuprofen beforehand the insertion and make sure you get the IUD inserted when your cervix is open, such as when you are on your period or ovulating. Even if there is some pain, it might be worth it for years of pregnancy-free sex.

IUD insertion is a form of birth control available to people looking to avoid getting pregnant. The most common type of IUD is a copper IUD which acts as a spermicide when in the uterus.
The sensation of IUD removal is a lot like that for IUD insertion, but much briefer. Instead of inserting both the sound (measurer) and insertor for the insertion, there's a single cramp as the IUD is removed.

Regular IUD checks are not necessary. Typically you get checked just once after insertion.
No, IUD insertion is an in-office procedure and does not require a special operating room.
If you didn't have your post-insertion check, it's not the end of the world. The post-insertion follow-up is a way to check that there's no pelvic pain or tenderness that might mean infection, to make sure the patient is satisfied with any changes in bleeding after the IUD, and to ensure that the IUD was not expelled soon after the insertion. It's not too late to have the post-insertion exam now.
The IUD itself does not increase the risk of PID. If a woman has chlamydia or gonorrhea at the time of insertion, the risk of PID is increased.
Intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs) are inserted into the uterus
It shouldn't.
The IUD should not make it difficult to climax. If you are worried about the safety of the IUD during sex, that could interfere with your nervous system's ability to achieve orgasm. Rest assured that sex will not make the IUD pop out, and orgasm will not cause the IUD to make problems for you.
