"i have had mirena twice. the first time was after my 2nd child. during the insertion i had 2 small cramps that did not last long. when it was all done i had no cramping and no bleeding for a year. i had it removed because i was going to try and be a surrogate for my aunt. sadly it didn&#039;t happen. but i was blessed with my very own baby boy later on. i had mirena inserted again after my son&#039;s birth. this time i had a little more cramping during the procedure. afterwards i bled heavy for 10 days with mild cramping. i had a week of nothing than another 10 days of random bleeding. now it&#039;s been about 3 months since the procedure and i have not had any bleeding but i do get lots of cramps and i am having a hard time losing weight."
