I’m getting my iud inserted under IV sedation in a few weeks and am very nervous. I’ve never been sedated for any medical procedure. I’m wondering if anyone else has done this, and what I can expect? I’ve read that you’re technically awake but just calm, and that’s scaring me. Also I saw that the recovery period is 30 minutes, which seems a little extreme for a 5 minute procedure.

Any insight would be helpful!
