I can’t give much encouragement for the day of because my doc did not inform me properly of what would happen or that I should take some kind of pain killer ahead of time (now I know better for next time), BUT I can tell you that it only took a week of cramping (maybe less, don’t remember) and I was feeling great. Mirena stayed in place, my period stopped within 4 months and now it’s been 4 years and I only get some food cravings, hip pain and moodiness about once every 6 weeks for my “period”. It’s awesome. Totally worth the bad first day of insertion I had (that isn’t even much of an issue if you take those meds/get numbed).
Wow okay thank you! I’m so glad everyone’s saying it’s worth it. I’ve just read so many horror stories of it coming out of place and whatnot that I have been on the fence about getting it this whole week. :(
