Had Mirena inserted, was excruciating but very quick and soon forgotten. Having it replaced was a whole other matter. The GP put those torture hook clamps on my cervix and left them there while she faffed about with packets. I told her it really hurt, the nurse tried to placate me but I had a vasovagal. I didn’t let her put the other one in. I’d rather risk another pregnancy than that. I have never felt so disempowered, ignored, and dismissed
