birth control
"I just got my Mirena IUD inserted yesterday. I am 20 years old, have a very small physique, and have never been pregnant so I was very nervous about insertion pain. Most women have claimed their insertion pain to be "the worst pain" they have ever experienced. This was not the case for me, at all. The procedure was surprisingly quick. The most painful part for me was when the doctor measured my cervix. Very intense pinching. I experienced a few of the most intense cramps I've ever had, but they were bearable. My doctor suggested I take 600 mg ibuprofen 40 minutes prior to the procedure, which I did, and she also used a local anesthetic on my cervix which probably helped quite a bit. Very little bleeding now. Happy so far!"
