[quote=Anonymous]Before i had it done i stopped reading the reviews here past page 3 since I'd already made my decision and didn't want to make myself crazy. I had it done at the end of my period. I took 2 ibuprofen an hour before but should've taken more. I have no trouble with annual exams. The mirena insertion was the most painful sensation I've ever felt, 10/10 pain. I used focused breathing to stay relaxed but the pain during this procedure quickly moved from a strong menstrual cramp to a deeper place in the core ive never felt outside of this procedure (except maybe labor). The pain also radiated out to 1 side. It was so intense i lost my breathing and the nurse reminded me not to hold my breath. Then it was over and the pain very quickly subsided over the next 20 minutes to just feeling a little tender , 1/10, and I went on with my day with no problems.

My insertion was at Georgetown with a very experienced dr. He assured me the eventual removal wouldn't be painful.

I'm not sure prior posters have emphasized that although it is excruciating for some patients, the procedure is quick. it feels like forever but is probably 1 minute, while the benefits of mirena last 5 years.[/quote]
