"i live in the uk so hooray for the nhs. anyway, i wanted to write this little review just because most of the time you only hear reviews from people that had a horrible experience! i would just like to say that yes the mirena hurt when it was put in for like a minute, then i felt a bit sick after and then crampy for the rest of the day, gradually getting better (i&#039;ve not had childbirth!) but i don&#039;t regret having it one bit. my periods have stopped altogether and i don&#039;t even need to think about it. i used to get really depressed on the pill for no reason but now i just feel normal. it didn&#039;t work some amazing magic and make me lose a load of weight for me or anything like that, it just did it&#039;s job, which is awesome."
