"i&#039;m 20 years old and had my daughter about 8 months ago. i&#039;ve had the mirena for about 7 months now. getting it inserted did not hurt at all. at first, i was extremely upset. hated it. i bled for 4 months. after 2 months i went in to the doctors because i thought something was wrong. went in, nothing was wrong. they told me to wait it out a little longer. after about 3 months the bleeding slowed down. became spotting. after 4.5 months, i stopped bleeding. i have no complaints. i&#039;m glad i stuck with it. i&#039;ve had my period once so far and it was very light. i haven&#039;t experienced any acne, mood swings, etc. so far, i&#039;m happy and hope the next 5 years will be a good experience for me."
