"i just had my mirena placed today. there was some strong cramping during placement, and that was it! i feel nothing right now. so far i think its great. i read alot of horror stories, and i assume its because only the people that have a problem with it want to post anything...i never had issues with my period in the past, or birth control pills, and i have always been healthy, and do not have children. i think its great...and so far its totally worth it!"
