"alright ladies i&#039;m here to tell you a mirena experience that was actually pleasant! i was 18 and i got it inserted last july (2014). most people experienced a horrible, painful insertion but this can be prevented! before i had it inserted i told my obgyn to numb my cervix ( she used a spray and within 30 seconds i was good to go ). the whole procedure took less that 1 minute and 30 seconds. afterwards i felt no craps, no nausea, no headache and even to this day no weight gain. however, after i got mirena i got my period 2 weeks later. at first it was like an ordinary period, but it didn&#039;t end like one because i spotted for a whole month straight but after that i&#039;ve been period free for almost a year. i love this thing. i trust it so much."
