"22, no children. so it&#039;s been about two hours since i had the mirena inserted. i must admit that i was pretty horrified by some of the cringe-worthy reviews had seen, and i was very nervous going in today. the pain was quite awful for about 5 seconds, then i had a bit of cramping, followed by some sweating, all of which subsided rather quickly. the whole procedure couldn&#039;t have been more than 5 minutes. i&#039;m not experiencing any pain as of right now, but i do feel a little fullness and pressure. overall, not the nightmarish experience i had expected."
