Ok, those with mirena...

I got mine yesterday and it went great.  Much easier than I thought it would go. 

My question is, did you experience any discomfort after it was placed?  If so, how long did it last?

I'm not in pain, but when I sit in certain positions, I feel something down there.  I'm just worried that it didn't take all the way or that something's wrong.

I'm getting mine on Thursday and worried about being able to feel it! I'll be checking back to see if anyone replies. Hope its ok!

I got mine last Thursday and like you said, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I do not feel anything down there but I did have mild cramping for a few days. Did you doctor tell you to come back to have it checked on?I have to go back in 4 weeks.

Danikat15

Yeah, she told me to call her at the end of the week if the cramping doesn't go away.  I have an appointment to check the strings in 4 weeks.

I'm also wondering if maybe the speculum scraped me since I bled red a little yesterday and the feeling seems to be lower than my cervix and where I would picture the mirena and the strings to be.

Dani - Did you feel like you were cramping when you got it? I want to get it but I am on the fence about it

MCC- It wasn't bad at all.  She put the speculum in and then poked my cervix with a cotton swab to check to see if it was favorable.  I didn't feel that at all.  Then she inserted the mirena and I felt the tiniest of cramps.  Before I could even say anything, it was done and the cramp was gone.  The worst part was honestly the speculum.

Now as I said, I've been crampy since, but I would compare that to period cramps.  Nothing a little motrin can't take care of.  With the exception of this dang feeling that something's there, of course.

Good to know that it isn't that bad. My ob compared it to having strong contractions for an hour afterwards. Then again he is a man so he probably has no idea what the heck it feels like.

Haha I wouldn't compare it to contractions.  But then again, my doc gave me cytotec for the two nights prior to soften my cervix.  So that might have had something to do with it.  I know not many doctors do that.

I've had mine for a week now, and I still feel off. At times there is a dull pain. I'm not sure what's up. I don't have a fever, or foul odor so I'm not worried yet. If it doesn't stop soon I may call the dr.

As far as the pain while being placed... it was quick, but it was more than I expected. I didn't like it. I'm still bleeding a little at times; which is normal.

I got mine put in a week ago and i was scraped by some contraction they put in to stabilize my uterus and it wasn't the speculum.  I have had the feeling like something is down there and some mild cramping still.  The feeling is like when you don't put a tampon in just right and its alittle uncomfortable for me.  I was concerned it wasn't high enough but its gotten better only feel it when I use that muscle if I have to pee really bad or poop. As far as i know its normal...hope this helps! I'm also still spotting some since getting it put in.
