"all of the negative reviews for this device had me so frightened to have the mirena put in that i almost backed out at the last minute.  i just had it inserted yesterday and haven&#039;t had time to experience many of the side effects that others are talking about, but i can tell you my situation.  i have a great doctor and i just had a baby 8 weeks ago.  i can honestly tell you that there was no pain associated with this procedure at all for me.  the most i felt was a minor cramp (this is not pain ladies!)  when the device settled into the uterus it actually felt more like a baby kicking than anything else.  i will acknowledge that everyone is different and someone else may have a different experience."
