Hi! Could you please share your experience of having the Mirena fitted by the NHS? I’ve got a couple of questions

1. Can you ask for pain relief before the procedure? Not Nurofen, but proper pain relief. Eight out of ten women I’ve spoken to say it’s excruciatingly painful, yet doctors keep lying and saying it doesn’t hurt. That’s the first red flag that’s really getting on my nerves.
2. If I can ask for one, how do I go about it?
3. Can I ask the doctors to sign a form that might help me if my friend (who is having it fitted) faints from the pain (she has a very low pain threshold and has had similar episodes before), and this form would prove that they deemed it unnecessary to administer anaesthesia before inserting a foreign object into the human body? I hope this makes sense, but I’m really worried about her.
4. For heaven’s sake, why is everything to do with women’s periods, acne or depression treated with contraceptives that have a list of side effects as long as a football stadium?
5. Why is the doctor recommending the Mirena without any alternatives, when Ukrainian doctors only recommend it for those who have given birth, and my friend clearly hasn’t? Also, why do they say here that it lasts for 8 years, whereas in Ukraine they say it lasts for less time (yes, it’s the very same Mirena)?
6. Please could you tell me how to prepare for having the coil fitted and whether it’s even worth it, as it will be a hormonal coil and not for contraception, but to address the issue of period pain.
   Thank you, thank you so much for reading
   It’s been almost a week now; I’ve scoured the entire internet in three languages, and the British doctors’ advice raises a lot of questions for me and sets off a lot of red flags. I’m incredibly worried about my friend and can’t stop thinking about all this. We live together, so I’ll be keeping an eye on how she’s doing after the Mirena is fitted.
   She’s already suffering from severe depression, and I don’t want them to make things worse for her.

I want to arrange a date so I need help to understand how it works and read through your personal experiences. My partner and I have never been to places like that, so I thought it’ll be a nice first experience…aaand that’s the reason why I am starting to get little nervous about it
You know the drill, with a nice massage and sauna
Maybe something else like scalp massage, face masks etc
Please please please I need your real reviews and how much was it, my max budget is 200 for two people
Food included — perfect!! Like lunch for two, I saw some offers, but there is so many options and I don’t know anything about it
But one thing I’m worried about — she’s a deep introvert and i absolutely don’t want to surround her with loud music, voices and a crowd of people in the room. More like there’s only two of us in the room with specialists. Sorry for a long read, I’m just being nervous.
