birth control
"I had mirena placed today. I took the recommended 800mg of advil. The pain was horrible at insertion. Now keep in mind, I am 33, and have not been pregnant. The pain didn't last long, but will forever haunt me. It had been 12 hours since insertion. Cramping is almost gone, but I do feel bloated. Not much appetite, which is good! I just wish they would have warned me about the discomfort of insertion. I have access to strong meds, do to other health issues, and could have medicated more appropriately. Time will tell is I like ot. I have been on birth control since I was 16ish. I have done pills and vaginally rings prior to this. I hear good and bad about it, but staying positive."
