"i got mirena inserted two months after the birth of my second child. i must say that i&#039;ve had no problems whatsoever and probably was the best choice for birth control i have made thus far. it did hurt just a little having it inserted and a day or two afterwards but since then i&#039;ve had no complaints. honestly sometimes i forget that its even there. my husband has no complaints with sex and it hasn&#039;t caused any problems in that category. in fact it has mostly been a good asset to us both. boot worrying about condoms or getting pregnant again. my periods are somewhat irregular but i was told that would happen in the first six months but they are a lot lighter than they have been. i plan on after my 5 years are up getting one."
