Birth Control
"I decided to share my experience to add a positive review about the Mirena IUD. I had my IUD inserted about a week ago. Going in for the insertion I was terrified based on all the reviews I read online referring to the pain. An hour before my appointment I took 800mg of ibuprofen, my gyno didn&rsquo;t recommend anything else before the insertion. When the insertion started, I kept waiting for the worst pain of my life to come but it didn&#039;t. The pain was about 4/10, but I wouldn&rsquo;t even consider it pain, uncomfortable may be a better word (sharp cramping but bearable) My period is already much lighter than usual to the point that I&rsquo;m only wearing panty liners (I never had very heavy periods previously and I&rsquo;ve been on the pill for about 5 years)"
