"i got my mirena a week ago and so far it&#039;s been good. the insertion hurt but it took like five to ten minutes.the first two days i felt a little bloated and heavy in the tummy. but from the third day on i never felt a thing again.i was running five miles these days and tummy feels well. the only thing is that i have been spotting lightly since insertion. but i know that it&#039;s a common side effect and i just have to be patient.
i think a lot of dissatisfaction stems from the insecurity of not being able to have sex with the constant spotting and your partner potentially losing interest. i felt that way at first anyways, but my boyfriend told me he still loves me and told me to stock up on pads and be patient. i felt loved and relieved."
