"i have been on depoprovra for about 10 years on and off. too long according to my new obgyn, and he suggested mirena since i am not ready to cut the ties just in case i decide to have children in the future lol. i have a 13 and 10 year old lol.... but after insertion i had cramping and mild bleeding for 2 days. i have not had any bleeding since then. it has been almost a month! the side effects i am experiencing are breast tenderness, and increased libido. the shot killed that lol. i love it so far and i am very happy."
