"extremely effective birth control that makes me feel confident and safe as a single young woman. my friends have had pregnancy scares while taking the pill so it is nice that mirena removes all that fear since i don&#039;t risk pregnancy by forgetting to take a pill. however, the insertion was excruciating and an absolutely horrible experience. i don&#039;t regret it though because it has completely stopped my menstruation saving me so much money on period products."
