"i&#039;ve had mirena for exactly 6 days and i&#039;m still experiencing minor cramping. the spotting only lasted for a day and a half. i&#039;ve gotten used to the cramping but if it gets too annoying i just pop a motrin. the process itself was extremely painful because i&#039;d never experienced cramps before hand. i&#039;d say the part that was painful though was the dilation of my cervix. the second day was much better. i didn&#039;t have a sex drive for the first 3 days but on the 4th day i was ready to go. my face is clearer than ever. no regrets. results may vary guys. make your gyn your bestie just to stay on top of things. good luck!"
