[quote=Anonymous]After reading all of the comments on this thread, I was absolutely horrified about getting the Mirena inserted. I went into the OB this morning for my appointment, expecting absolutely horrible pain. I took 800 mg of Ibuprofen about an hour before my appointment time. No numbing cream was used and they held it open with the metal speculum, before inserting. The insertion felt about twice as uncomfortable as a normal Pap smear - but it was bearable to me (occasional pinches, but nothing excruciating). The medication they put on to stop the bleeding stung quite a bit, but that sensation went away about 5 minutes after they completed the insertion. Afterwards, I had no cramps and was able to go about the rest of my day (when I had anticipated lots of sleep + resting). I am 26 and have never been pregnant. It's been 7 hours since the insertion and, still, no cramps. I suppose the experience is different for everyone.[/quote]
