"i got my mirena put in today at my 6 weeks checkup for my c-section and i must say i was terrified at first and was almost reconsidering after every thing bad i have read and searched up on and all the negative comments but i knew the pill wouldn&#039;t work for me and i wanted something with a low hormone dose so mirena was my only option. i didn&#039;t feel anything painful whatsoever, the worst part of everything was the speculum and that&#039;s like a pap discomfort. it didn&#039;t hurt when they measured my cervix, inserted the mirena, cut the strings. i mean i felt no pain at all and i didn&#039;t start cramping until about 10 min. after it was all done. so please don&#039;t change your mind just because of horror stories."
