"i&#039;m in my mid 30s and love to travel. the reason i wanted mirena is so that i wouldn&#039;t accidentally become pregnant before any of my scheduled vacations! 
i don&#039;t have children so i was extremely nervous about the pain i would experience. i had the mirena inserted just yesterday. i will tell you the pressure i felt was &quot;different&quot; and felt like a much more intense pap. i immediately began to feel cramping but took a motrin 800. felt great after that. now, at 3:45 am, i am experiencing more cramping. i think it&#039;s time for another motrin. 
i hated taking a pill every day, was afraid of weight gain with the depo shot, and was scared away from the implanon by my former ob/gyn. i read 1st 6 months are hell, looking forward to month 7!"
