"i am 24 years old, have had one child.  i got the mirena put in about 9 weeks after delivery which was one week ago.  didn&#039;t hurt at all. my doctor did use numbing spray on my cervix though.  after i left the doctors i experienced slight cramping and have continued too off and on for about a week now.  spotting is slight and more of a brownish discharge then actual blood.  i have also experienced some yeast like symptoms, itching mostly.  my doctor says that this could be because my body is still adjusting to the mirena.  otherwise i&#039;m very happy and will post again in a few weeks."
