I got a Mirena fitted in December last year, and it's now just settling in. Be warned: your periods for the next few months might be hell on toast!
After the fitting, (I too made the mistake of looking at the contraption for insertion) I nearly passed out and threw up twice. Once while on the loo, but that's kinda beside the point. One of the nurses said that it's a common reaction, it even has a fancy medical name, but apparently the cervix doesn't like things being pushed past it. Who'd a thunk?
