"i&#039;ve had mirena for 4 months now and i love it. i&#039;ve read so many stories about the excruciating pain women have felt during insertion, but for me it was no worse than a period cramp and it didn&#039;t last very long at all. by the end of the day i was back to normal. there was some light spotting at first. i love that i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill every morning or else i&#039;d probably be pregnant again. i would definitely recommend it."
