Maybe it's for that reason, but I believe the pamphlet that my Dr. gave me on it said that you had to have a previous pregnancy. Maybe it's just (more effective? safe? less likely to be rejected?) easier in women who have had a previous pregnancy. Although with mirena, it's soft plastic and smaller then a quarter, so I can't imagine it being THAT hard to insert.
Just going by what my OB/GYN told me.
