[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had my 2nd Mirena inserted last week, and it was probably  a little worse than the first time.  Not as bad as full on cramps (pre-baby) but definitely noticeable and uncomfortable.  The sounding measurements of the uterus were the worst part, but it was all over in about 7-10 minutes.  The pain was sporadic as she was putting in, measuring, or what not -- no pain was lengthier than 10 seconds.  I took 2 Tylenol before hand, and should have taken Advil instead.  I had some cramping afterwards and spotting.  I'd say it was a "good trade":  7-10 minutes of mild discomfort for 5-7 years of 97% effective birth control, light (if any) bleeding/periods, and potentially good hormone balancing as I head into peri-menopause (hot flashes at bay).

LOL about someone's S/O complaining about the strings!  My OB/GYN is such a hoot!  She specifically tells her patients NOT to mention strings to their husbands - - they ALWAYS imagine they can feel them after they hear about them, but never complain if they weren't told beforehand.  I keep quiet and my BF has never had this psychosomatic problem!![/quote][/quote]
