I HAVE ONE!!!!! it felt like a really bad cramp going in. I recommend taking ibuprofen like 30 min before the appt to help. It hurt in the moment, but I was fine to drive myself home after!!

also personally I have Mirena and I like it a lot, my periods are so much lighter now and symptoms have gotten way easier to manage. for seven years of coverage it’s SOOOO worth it!!

I can’t feel it in general but my fiancé has said once or twice he thought he could lmao, but I don’t feel anything. there are little strings that hang down a bit for emergency removal but I can’t feel them either bc they stay up so high in there

Love my Mirena too. It’s actually up to 8 years BC coverage with up to 5 for bleeding control and other symptoms :)
