"i have been very happy with mirena. it was inserted at my 6 week post-partum appointment. i was nervous but felt nothing. it felt like a pap smear.  i did have spotting for about 6 weeks after. i started a diet program two weeks after insertion, and i have lost 21 lbs in the last 6 weeks, so don&#039;t believe it when people tell you that they gained a whole bunch of weight after insertion. 



i have no complaints, and i would recommend mirena to anyone."
