"i am a 31 year old mother of a three year old and decided to get mirena about three weeks ago because i am just terrible at remembering to take the pill.  i was completely panicked about getting it in but it was fine...a little uncomfortable but it was quick and definitely not painful.  i had it put in while i was on my second day of my cycle and the bleeding stopped two days later.  everything was cool till about a week later when i began &quot;spotting&quot;, which really just means i have not had light bleeding every day for the last 8 days.  lame.  my sex drive is in tact, but i have had some light cramping and minor headaches (nothing too bad, i haven&#039;t even had to take pain killers)."
