"i got the mirena implanted two days ago (wednesday june 17, 2015) and so far it has been close to the easiest thing i&#039;ve ever had to do. i&#039;m 18 years old and i&#039;ve never had a baby, i got the mirena to use as a form of birth control. i took 880 mg of aleve 1 hour before my appointment and the whole process took maybe 10 minutes. i&#039;ve only had one pap smear before and she even had to dilate me a little bit but it didn&#039;t hurt worse than my worst period cramps- you just have to breathe through it. i had light spotting for the rest of the day and some mild cramps that felt better when i laid down and used a heating pad. now i&#039;m in no pain at all and i am happy and have energy and am very happy that i got this done!"
