Mirena details, for those curious

[moominmuppet]

So I finally got my Mirena, bright and early Wednesday morning!

As I said on Facebook:
Mirena'd! Whoo-hoo! (Actually about an hour ago, but apparently my update didn't post) easy-peazy; I think my breakfast of too many dried apricots caused me more cramping!

Full write-up, for those who are curious or considering one themselves:

*chuckle* I can see how that would be confusing! (same thing happens to me when I'm skimming through, too!)

I'm probably going to get around to doing this this year (my doc doesn't do the insertions either, and I have been nervous about going elsewhere) so it's good to see other people's experiences with it. Thanks for posting!

Glad to help!

I meant to post when you first mentioned Mirena: I'm on my second Mirena, and I *love it*. Sounds like your insertion was as smooth as my second one (my first was complicated by other factors, but still not awful in retrospect).

*nod* I was quite impressed, overall. I was expecting significantly more cramping.
