Before getting my IUD, I was very nervous and of course ran to the internet to research and also read other women’s experiences. All I found was negative negative negative! I only found very few positive posts, which I don’t find surprising bc I myself am guilty of having a good experience with a product and just going on with life rather then giving a POSITIVE review online for others to read!

So, here I am making a positive post.. 3 days ago I got my Mirena IUD placed. The worst part for me was the clamp that “holds you open” (if you know what I mean...) but other then that the insertion was quick and painless. I did bleed a little afterwards, also bc of the clamp, and also had some cramping throughout the day (took Aleve to relieve pain), but besides that I had a pretty good experience getting it in.

I was told I would continue cramping, but 3 almost 4 days in, I haven’t cramped since the day I got it. I feel no pain when sitting, being active, etc. and am overall having a very good experience with my IUD so far.

I hope this helps others who are looking to get an IUD. I’m going to continue posting updates periodically bc I want others to know that not ever experience is a bad one!
