Positive IUD insertion

Hey everyone!! I just wanted to get on here and talk about my experience with the insertion itself. It was nowhere near as bad as I expected it to be. There was some cramping but honestly I’ve had worse period cramps than it. For me there was not much sharp pain. They had me lay down for about 10 minutes before sitting up to ensure I didn’t pass out or anything. While it wasn’t fun, it was a very underwhelming experience for me. I had this done today so I’m still experiencing some cramping but nothing worse than some mild period cramps.

I know that everyone’s experiences are different so you may have a worse time than me, but I hope this post is encouraging to someone who has an appointment coming up or is contemplating getting the Mirena. I’ll likely make a post in the future once I’ve had it longer about any side effects I experience.
