"i was scheduled to get my mirena iud, so like most of you on the site, i did my research and read every review possible! i freaked myself out bad. so my appointment comes around and i was sitting on the bed shaking with fear. my doctor comes in and gets me prepped and begins the insertion process. during the whole process i didn&#039;t even feel hardly anything. it felt like a child was sitting on my lower abdomen, didn&#039;t even hurt, it was just pressure. easy and very very tolerable pressure. when i got home i just took a midol with some  ibuprofen  and i was set for the whole night. the next day i had mild cramps but it wasn&#039;t bad. 
i spotted for 3 weeks and thats it! i am now period free! *recommend you are on your period when you get it inserted"
