That's the info leaflet included with the Mirena. Nowhere does it mention that the recipient needs to have given birth or been pregnant prior to insertion.
The 'not unless you've had kids' approach seems to only happen in America. In Europe, and especially here in the UK, they're happy to fit them in anyone. My local medical practice offers them to everyone over 16.
I'm nulliparous and the successful owner of a Mirena since since January 2006.
