"just got the mirena inserted yesterday, and after reading a lot of negative reviews i thought i would share my experience. i was scared of the insertion procedure after reading so many terrible reviews about it being the worst pain ever, so i&#039;m hoping this puts a lot of ladies mind at ease. i did have a moment of &quot;oh my god&quot; pain when the doctor was measuring my uterus. this was due to the fact that i have a &#039;tipped back&#039; uterus. not a big deal the doctor told me. that pain lasted ~10-20 seconds. it was a strange crampy/stabby/pinchy pain that i have never experienced before. afterwards though, i have had minimal mild cramps and barely any spotting and have gotten on with life. will try and update in 3 months."
