"this is my second time having the mirena. i got one after my first child and it was perfect! i had no problems and only spotted every couple of months if that. i had no pain whatsoever when it was inserted. i got it removed after a year because we decided to have another child. this time around is kind of different. i go in for my check up in 2 days and they may have to remove it because i&#039;m bleeding non stop, cramp everyday off and on to the point i cry and medicines wont take them way. i have mild mood swings nothing major. i haven&#039;t been able to feel the strings either. but i would recommend this to every woman because not everyone has a trouble with it. it&#039;s a good form of birth control and it works."
