"after my last child and not being comfortable on the pill i had the mirena inserted under mild sedation. i felt nothing when i woke and only had slight bleeding for the first month. thereafter nothing. i had it in for 8 years - no problems and no bleeding. 

i am now menopausal and on estrogen patches. 

my mirena has been replaced with a new one - it&#039;s been 3 months now and iv&eacute; only had a day or two of very light spotting. 



the best thing ever."
