"i have not had a single bad experience thus far with mirena. 



i had it inserted about 10 months ago right after work. the whole &quot;procedure,&quot; start to finish, took about 15 minutes, and was only slightly painful. it was done by a nurse practitioner, who was reportedly more experienced than any of the other physicians at the practice. another ten minutes to catch my breath and i rode my motorcycle home with no issues. i am in my early 20s and have never given birth.



my periods immediately lightened up until they became virtually non-existent. very little cramping, easily taken care of by ibuprofen. i can still maintain my intense work-out schedule, lifting, cardio, abs, stretching included, with no fear of dislodging."
