"i am 18 years old and do not have kids. i got mirena inserted last week. the insertion itself was not that bad, just a bit of discomfort, it was like 3 pinches. when it was over, the doctor asked me how i was feeling, and i felt fine so he let me get up to get dressed. when i came back in the room, i almost passed out and thought i was going to throw up. the nurse got me lying down on the bed again and these feelings went away. the cramping started at this time. i cramped that day, which was manageable with 2 midol%u2019s and 2 advil (which was a great combination for this procedure). for the next few days i would get a cramp once a day, no big deal. i haven%u2019t been spotting at all, just a tiny bit right after the insertion."
