"i&#039;m not going to lie... getting the mirena put in was uncomfortable. fortunately, the procedure only lasted a minute or two. i have always had really bad cramping and nausea during my period, and getting the mirena felt like the first and the worst day of my period. fortunately, i didn&#039;t feel like that for very long, maybe the rest of the day. it&#039;s only been a couple of days but i already feel better than when i was using the nuvaring. that could just be relief though. i read a lot of these reviews before i got it and i was definitely scared to go through with it, but i did and it was fine! i&#039;ll review again after it&#039;s been in for a while... but to those looking to get it, don&#039;t be scared off by these reviews."
