"i had the mirena placed this morning at 11 am. the placement was not the most comfortable, but it also wasn&#039;t the most painful thing i have endured. very bearable. i am 20 years old and i have never had children or been pregnant. took a good amount of pain medicine this morning on top of cytotec the night before, by mouth. besides a few mild cramps (not even as painful as the ones i have on my period) and a very mild headache, i have not experienced any pain or side effects so far. of course it is only day 1, but things are looking pretty good! :)"
