"i wanted to write a review because before i got my iud i did a lot of research, and want to reciprocate for others. the iud is the greatest decision i&#039;ve ever made for my health. i personally found the insertion experience completely fine. it was mildly uncomfortable for about 30 seconds while my doctor inserted it, but i took a deep breath and was fine. i had a little bit of spotting right after. over the following three weeks i had a mixture of light to moderate/heavy bleeding every day. this wasn&#039;t great, but it seems like a minor inconvenience compared to the years of benefits i will get from it. over the past 6 months that i&#039;ve had it, i have had light, irregular periods. i am getting them less frequently. mirena&#039;s great. get it!"
