"it&#039;s now been three months since i had the mirena iud inserted and i&#039;m glad i went for it. the insertion was not painful, although measuring the cervix was. however, the pain went away real quick. i had lots of cramping and spotting for the first six weeks, and since i&#039;m very sensitive, it made me a bit moody too. however, as it settles in, i&#039;m loving the convenience and the no-worry assurance of birth control, and i&#039;m very glad i got the mirena.  read a lot of negative reviews before i went for my appointment, but i felt like it was the right thing for me and i&#039;m glad i trusted my instincts. 
if you&#039;re thinking of getting one, just know that there is an initial adjustment period and things will get better if you just give it some time."
