"i just got mirena placed today. i&#039;m amazed at how any people say it isn&#039;t painful because mine was the most excruciating thing i have ever experienced. it took forever to get it placed. i laid there for 25 mins in extreme pain while they fumbled around getting it in place. i have a tilted uterus, so it&#039;s harder to get where it should be. that might just be why it was so terrible for me. it has been about 12 hours and i have very bad bleeding. full on gushing, bad cramping, i feel light headed, sick, my heart is fluttering and racing, i feel altogether terrible. i&#039;m starting to wonder if i made the right choice here. mine was not actually implanted as a bc method, my tube are already tied, it is for &quot;irregular&quot; bleeding."
