"i have two kids my first was born and i was put on the pill ,took it correctly and somehow got pregnant when she was 3 months old. so now i have a 1 and 2 year old after my second i decided to try the mirena and it wasn&#039;t painful at all to have inserted just a little uncomfortable. but i had bleeding for 4 months straight so me and dh went 5 months without sex. and then after i stopped it was every 25ish days and it would last 2 weeks not heavy but the flow would go from normal to light during the day. i&#039;m happy to be protected but it was a rough start my doctor just kept saying it&#039;s worth it to tough it out and i guess it really is i&#039;m not preg and don&#039;t have to worry about it at all. i couldn&#039;t imagine remembering a pill or geta shot."
