To ask for your Mirena/hormonal iud experiences because I'm scared

Sorry to post in AIBU. Hoping for traffic. Having a Mirena fitted in a couple of hours and now the appointment is here I'm a bit worried. I had a copper coil a few years ago, before having children, and it was really painful afterwards. I took strong painkillers and went to bed (the copper coil was also terrible for me in general but that's another story).

Today after my appointment I've got to come home after and look after my DSs aged 3 and 1... I've heard it's not as bad after you've had children and paracetamol will be enough. But they tried to say paracetamol was enough after my c-section so I'm not especially trusting Hmm (I'm not joking. I had to ask to have ibuprofen along with paracetamol on the ward and later something stronger).

I can ask DH to come home if it's awful but obviously don't want to be a wimp. Tell me it's fine and almost painless!!! Grin

Well the actual fitting was fine, just a bit uncomfortable. It hurt like a bitch 10 minutes later though. I've already taken ibuprofen so took co-codamol too which has helped a lot. DSs are being quiet and watching Moana so I will probably pull through lol.
Thanks again for responses
