What form of pain management worked for you during IUD insertion?

I have bounced around on various BC methods in attempt to manage my symptoms, and an IUD is now looking like my only option. I’ve never been pregnant, and I’ve had very traumatic pelvic exams in the past, so I’m absolutely terrified to get it inserted. I know many providers say to just take ibuprofen beforehand, so I am trying to figure out what type of pain management method I should advocate for. I’ve heard of people using sedation, cervical numbing, prescription painkillers, etc. What do you recommend?
