Birth Control
"So I got my Mirena inserted exactly 1hr ago. I was nervous &amp; scared from all the negative reviews I had read. I took 800mg Ibuprofen &amp; 2x Panadiene an hour before. 
I lied down. I relaxed and just breathed. They checked my uterus position. Cleaned me with betadine. Put in the speculum. Put topical anesthetic on my cervix.  And I felt a strange cramp feeling deep inside as they inserted the Mirena probe thing. And before I knew it, it was over! 

That was it. Done! Way less painful than I was expecting! 

Obviously I haven&#039;t had it in long enough for other side effects. 

But if you&#039;re scared about the insertion, be aware that it&#039;s not terrible for everyone (I&#039;m sure it is for some). But don&#039;t get worried, just relax!"
