I have had 3 IUDs now and the process was no biggie. I watched the most traumatic step by step account of someone getting an IUD on Buzzfeed and it was absolutely nothing like my experience! I had no numbing meds. Totally unnecessary. No ultrasound. Nothing really more involved than a pap. But if I didn't know any differently and just saw that Buzzfeed, I would be a "never!" on the IUD front too. Sorry, just rambling. I really like the convenience of IUDs but I can see the hesitation if there's no guarantee that it'll help.
Yes, my Mirena was an easy process, just like yours.

Have had great improvement or total elimination of: migraines, bloating/distention, heartburn, cystic acne, canker sores, bleeding gums, eczema on elbows, dry skin and scalp, muscle cramps, PMS, hair loss, heart palpitations, fatigue. I'm amazed.
