"i just got the mirena today. i have had two children both natural births. after reading reviews i was beyond nervous having this done as everyone seems to think this is painful. i can honestly say i didn&#039;t really feel a thing during the insertion. maybe the ibprophin did help but still a lot easier then i thought it would be! 6 hours later and still no pain...light bleeding but i am at the end of my period so no biggie really. i am really hoping this works out for me as i am 33 and do not plan on having anymore children. i have typically never have side effect of any medication except the very minor things...so keeping my fingers crossed. i would definitely suggest getting this done if you just don&#039;t feel like being on the pill anymore!!"
