"wow, all negative reviews.... i am 26 yrs old. i had the mirena placed in march. i&#039;ve never had any kids, and we don&#039;t plan to for a while. sure the mirena placement wasn&#039;t the most comfortable thing, but think about it, it&#039;s not going to feel that great going in. i&#039;ve had kidney stones, and a stent placed, so maybe my pain tolerance is higher than most others. i haven&#039;t had any problems with my mirena. i am so glad i don&#039;t have to worry about taking pills every single day. my insurance covered the procedure 100% so i am saving about $2,000 during the next 5 years. i&#039;m a happy camper."
