"before i got my mirena i did a lot of research and was so nervous... actually afraid to get it. the day of my appointment came and i was freaking out... come to find out it didn&#039;t hurt a bit. i literally talked through the whole procedure expecting to feel some kind of pain and my doctor said all done. it was more a pap smear than an insertion and then they trim the strings, it was so simple and i didn&#039;t feel no cramping or spotting. everyone is different though."
