"i just had my mirena inserted today, i wanted to get a positive review about the insertion out there. i&#039;m 21 &amp; have been on loestrin fe for the past 5 months, &amp; sprintec for a year &amp; a half before that. i have never had children or been pregnant. they prescribed me misoprostal to take the night before to open up my cervix &amp; i took 800mg ibuprofen half an hour before the appointment. first she measured my cervix &amp; then inserted the mirena. both felt like bad period cramps, more uncomfortable than painful. i&#039;ve had mild cramps throughout the day, nothing ibuprofen can&#039;t fix. i have no idea if it will work or how my body will take it, but the insertion went smoothly."
