"i got the mirena about 3 weeks ago, i&#039;m 21 and have 2 children. the ob told my husband that he would feel the strings and no intercourse for 2 weeks. well the bleeding has been nonstop, slightly heavy. i&#039;m not really sure if i like it or not. my ob, by her own choice had to numb me and give me a shot for pain right before i had it inserted.  i&#039;m not really sure if this is normal. i have acne now haven&#039;t had it since i was 18, i&#039;ve gained weight and i get sleepy very easily now."
