Birth Control
"Had the 5 year Mirena put in two weeks ago. The procedure took 10 minutes at max and was as simple as a pap smear. In totality, I probably experienced 10 seconds of pain from start to finish. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour prior to the procedure and did not experience cramping of any sort afterwards. I think the ibuprofen made a difference because my doctor said that patients usually experience discomfort. I have a retroverted uterus and it didn&#039;t make the procedure any more difficult than it was. Haven&#039;t experience any side effects besides some minor spotting. Would definitely recommend."
