"i have had the mirena for about 6 months now. when it was put in it hurt- off course. i have a sensitive cervix. i was in so much pain, i really wish now that i would have remembered to have the doctor numb me. i had to lay down for about 20 minutes on the table afterwords because i was dizzy. i also am pretty sure i can feel it. i am not feeling it as much now though. it takes time for my body to accept it. so, i wanted to share that i might be one of the few who have had no period and weight loss). i was breastfeeding my second child, so that might be the reason but no &quot;real&quot; period, just some light spotting. also, i managed to get to below my pre-pregnancy weight. whaawhoo to that;) i highly recommend!"
