"i am a 21 year old, no kids, i was on the pill for a couple years- absolutely nothing wrong with it except for that fact that i hated worrying about taking it every morning (especially on trips, weekends, staying over at my boyfriend&#039;s house, etc) such a hassle! so i got mirena in about 3 weeks ago. i absolutely love it so far. it was semi-painful to insert, i felt cramping for a couple hours, and very tired all day long but woke up the next morning and felt almost 100% normal! the cramping and expected bleeding/spotting stopped after about a week and i literally have noticed no side effects since. also, i have dropped 5 lbs i believe due to the lack of hormones from the pill, so i&#039;m back to my normal weight! love this and would recommend to all."
