No, dont be scared of them. I didnt take enough motrin the morning of. My doctor told me to take 800mg before hand, and I only took 400, so that was one of my problems.
It's really not that bad. The whole procedure was only about 15 minutes, and the only reason it took that long for me is because my cervix was not cooperating, and wouldnt open. When they finally got it open, that was crampy crampy time #1. Once I calmed down and they actually went to insert it, that was crampy crampy #2 - as it slid past to be inserted. Bascially, the cervix doesnt like to be f*cked with, so it "yells" at you for disturbing it's peace. LOL, that's the best anology I can think of.
Do your research. Ask other people you may know who DONT have kids, who have one - I may have been a freak example - everyone is different.
I'm VERY happy I have it now because it means no more condoms - had to use them since I left my last job, and was waiting for my insurance to kick in at the new job...and I dont have to deal with pills, or shots, or anything else anymore. The mirena website has some good info on what kinds of side effects to expect, etc etc. You should check it out. But dont be scared. Just be prepared, that's all.
