Does Mirena hurt?

I am strongly considering getting Mirena since I am paranoid about having baby #3 right now. I am on the pill, but feel like it isn't working, so want something more.

Was it painful to get Mirena implanted?

    For me, it was slightly painful. It surprised me but it only lasted like ten minutes at most and has been worth it.

    For me it wasn't as bad as a pap smear. They had to use the "extra long" tail one to insert because they said I had a very long torso and wanted to make sure it was placed right. The nurse told me because of that most likely is why I spotted and was sore after.

    I did not hurt during placement.  I had some cramping and heavy bleeding for 24 hours and then was fine after that.

    For like 5 min during insertion with some slight cramping.  I had a c section and was told that it may be less painful for people who have had a vaginal birth.  I just had mine removed and removal was very easy.

    I don't remember it being that bad. A little uncomfortable. But not having to remember to take a pill everyday makes it so worth it.

    It didn't hurt, it was uncomfortable for a little bit. I personally hated mine though and had it taken out after a year. My friend has ParaGuard and absolutely loves it.

    I had mine put in about 12 weeks after a failed vaginal/emergency c-section (so I did dilate some).  The doc said it went in very easily because I was still somewhat dilated at that point.  Going in it felt like a pap with a little bit of cramping.  Coming out she did it after a pap and I didn't even realize it was out.

    I LOVED it when I had it- nothing to remember every day, way fewer side effects than I had with ortho tricyclen low, and I almost never got a period- light spotting every 2-3 months.

    When we're done TTC, I'm definitely getting another!

    For me it was slightly painful. I had some strong cramps for about 10 min afterwards. I got pregnant with our son while I was on the pill, so after being on the mini pill for the first 6 months after having our son I decided to switch to the mirena. My doc recommends to take tylenol before your appointment to help with the cramp like pain.

    I was expecting it to be painful. But I went in and I thought she was just getting prepared when she said "Okay, all done!". Didn't hurt a bit, and I'm one who often felt uncomfortable during my cervical checks in pregnancy.
