Mirena ?
I know a lot of women have been on this. I am wondering how is it to have it put in? Were you sore afterwards? Also, anybody have any nasty side effects on it?

Re: Mirena ?
I had Paragard, the non-hormonal IUD, for about four years. The insertion process was pretty painful, but since you have children, I highly doubt it will be as painful for you.
For example, a friend of mine with two children had Mirena inserted and went for a run later that day. After I had mine inserted, I laid on the couch with a heating pad for the rest of the day and the day after.
I loved it. It made birth control so much easier and less expensive. I plan to get it again after H and I have children.
HTH!
I took ibuprofren before, it hurt when my cervix contracted and then maybe cramping for 30 minutes afterwards. No side effects. Spotted on & off for a few months. Love it.
I've had mine for almost 5 years and have to set up an appointment to have it removed within a couple of months actually. I think I do remember them advising me to take some Ibuprofen beforehand. There's a little cramping when they insert it, and maybe a little bit afterwards but really it's painless for the most part. I spotted on/off for the first year, then every now and then I would have some spotting just randomly ... but it wasn't anything more than spotting (love the worry free)!
