"i&#039;ve had the mirena coil fitted and can honestly say best thing i&#039;ve done!. of course the fitting of it is very uncomfortable, but i had a great doctor who talked to me and kept my mind off the process. for the sake of 10 minutes of uncomfortable fitting, for 5 years of not needing to do anything for protection i will happily go for this again. after the fitting it was just like strong period pains on the evenings for a week, but now i can&#039;t even tell it&#039;s in!. honestly yes it hurts to get fitted but it&#039;s worth it!."
