birth control
"I read a lot of scary reviews about the pain and problems after having Mirena IUD put in so, I thought I'd write my own review. It's not nearly as scary as what I had read. 

I got my Mirena 3 days ago. I've had one child via c-section 8 years ago. Overall the experience was better than I anticipated. It only took about five minutes for the entire procedure and maybe only 60-90 seconds of pain, when opening up my cervix and putting the IUD in. It wasn't exactly pleasant but I was able to deal with it. I kept waiting for the real "excruciating pain" to come, but it never happened. It was over before I knew it.

I did take it 800 milligrams of Advil about an hour beforehand, so that may help but I do have a high tolerance for pain."
