This study will be a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing cold compression to no intervention immediately prior to and during intrauterine device insertion. Subjects will be randomized to cold compress or no intervention (standard practice in our clinics). Following IUD insertion they will complete a validated pain scale survey regarding their pre-procedure and intra-procedure pain.
