"i have had mirena for a year now and i love it. the only problem was the incredible pain involved in insertion. it only lasted for a few hours and cramping for a couple of days. i have not had a period in 8 months and it is very easy to check that it is in place. when this one getts removed, i will definately get another one. my husband can sometimes feel it, but it doesn&#039;t bother him. this is the best thing ever."
