"i&#039;m 33 and married and i like many of you was very nervous about the mirena.  i had been using the mini pill for almost 2 years because i was still nursing, but i was tired of taking pills so i decided the mirena would be best long term because i do not want anymore children.  i have 2.  so about a month ago i got it.  the nurse gave me motrin to help just in case, and let me tell you it&#039;s the best thing i have ever done. i don&#039;t know why i waited so long.  i felt uncomfortable during the measuring of my cervix, but other than that i felt nothing!  no cramping, no bleeding, no nothing.  when my cycle came a few weeks later, it was lighter and lasted about 5 days longer.  so i say give it a try.  right now i am very satisfied."
