"i went through a medical abortion and i decided to get the mirena iud because the pill wasn&#039;t working for me. i had mirena inserted 9 days after my abortion.
after my insertion, i felt no pain. i drove home pretty happy with my decision and relaxed for the rest of my day. six hours later, i started getting really horrible cramps. it was so bad that i began having second thoughts, almost as bad as the abortion... laying down, some hot soup and a heating pad made things tolerable.
the next day, the cramps dramatically subsided, and by the end of my first week, the cramps were nonexistent or very rare. it&#039;s been a month and i&#039;m still spotting, but i&#039;m very happy with my decision so far. btw my boyfriend never feels it and he&#039;s at least 7in..."
