dont do it yourself. you dont want to risk damaging anything or getting a serious infection. think of how much sterilization they did befor they put it in, my dr was very worried about having any bacteria enter my cervix when she put it in.  plus do u know that thats shaped like, like a t, you dont want it to get stuck.
