IUD

I'm getting my mirena inserted tomorrow.  Any words of wisdom?  I'm nervous!

  • I had one previous to having DD, and I have one now after having DD.  The one previous to DD was really uncomfortable. The one after having DD didn't hurt at all!  I am guessing it is because my cervix was still stretched out from having her.  Did you have a vaginal delivery with DD2?

  • No. I've never had a vaginal delivery and as far as I know, I've never been dilated.
  • I never dilated with either kid. My Paragard didn't hurt too bad once it was in.

    I would definitely take some iburofen beforehand. But it wasn't too bad the first time I had it in - I just tried to relax as she was putting it in.

  • I also recommend the ibuprofen. I took the equivalent of 600mg. I barely felt it at all. I was really nervous before hand, but luckily it was NBD. 

    Good luck!  

  • For me, the mirena hurt a little going in but I was completely fine afterwards, no cramping.  Good luck!
