As the title says I am getting a Mirena inserted tomorrow. I have been on Depo Provera for 5 years and even though it's been great, you're not really meant to be on it long term due to loss of bone density and we already have issues with that in the family. My GP has been recommending it to me for the last couple of years, but now I am finally getting it done.

Naturally one of my friends (C) told me her horror story about having hers inserted, how it was painful and she nearly fainted etc. So that has me slightly more freaked out than what I was. I do have another friend that is about to have her 3rd one done, and she said that C must have been a wuss. My 2nd friend did ask if the doctor recommended having anyone there with me in case. I said "No". So she's coming to be my taxi tomorrow.

So what were your experiences with insertion. I am going in expecting the worse, so then I can say "Oh it wasn't that bad"....I hope
