I got a mirena IUD at Fenway Health about a week ago and I have to say a few things.

First I asked my doctor, Sarah Etherton, questions about when was the best time in my cycle to get the mirena in order to avoid pain. She brushed me off and said it didn't really matter. She did not mention anything about it being painful or better for people who had children (which I haven't). I don't remember the exact phrasing but she was very encouraging of getting the mirena saying it was simple and painless.
