"i got mirena today because i couldn&#039;t remember to take my daily birth control pill. i have a son now who is 3 months old and we can&#039;t have anymore for a while. but i&#039;ve read several reviews and done lots of research about mirena and i finally got it and i&#039;m so happy. i was terrified about the insertion but it didn&#039;t even hurt at all. i didn&#039;t even realize the doctor had done it. i am having some very, very mild cramping but i don&#039;t even need to take anything. i would highly recommend this to anyone. trust me the anxiety of getting it is the worst part. i&#039;m going to love 5 years of protection without any responsibilitys."
