"its july 3, 2011 and i got the mirena on february 25 2011. it did feel very uncomfortable when i got it but other than that i haven&#039;t had any issues. i&#039;m still waiting in my periods to lighten up or go away but unfortunately i still have them. not complaining too much because that reassures me that i&#039;m not pregnant. i&#039;m less sexually active compared to before i had it but not because i&#039;m not in the mood its just because i have not had time. i do not feel the strings but i&#039;m going to go and get a pelvic ultrasound to make sure its still there."
