"just had it inserted today and it was pretty painful. i&#039;ve been bleeding for a couple months and after a d&amp;c about a week ago it hasn&#039;t gotten any better. mirena is the next step for me to try to stop the bleeding. the insertion for me was just as painful as the endoscopy/histoscopy that i had over a month ago. it was a deep cramp with very specific pressure. i should have taken an ibuprofen beforehand to help. obviously i have no clue how long it will last and if i&#039;ll like it in the long run but i figured i should at least share how i felt about the initial reaction"
