"hello everyone! i just want to share some experience with the use of mirena. i have had it for almost 6 months. i was recommended by my healthcare provider of this option since it is safe and suit with my situation. i am 27 years old now and have no kids. in the process of putting it in, it was very painful since i have never had kids, so my cervix is not as wide as ones who did. i had bad cramps for about a week and period for almost a month. since then, i have some spotting as well as cramps. the cramp is not as bad as i used to have when i was on period. i don&#039;t think i have other side effects such as acne or weight gain. i recommend it to you. to me, it is more of psychological fix! worry free!"
