"insertion: december 17th, 2012. kids: none. age: 26
previous bc: yaz, ortho-tricyclen. 

i had/have a few ovarian cysts and medium flow periods for 4-5 days before mirena. insertion hurt like a serious mother(wow), but it was 2 minutes of my life. i bled very lightly for about 2-3 weeks after and since then have not had my period. you have no idea how awesome that is. insurance covered most of my mirena. i had to pay the pre-insertion appointment and doctor&#039;s fees, etc. only side effects for me include acne (which some might be attributed to me starting to work out a lot).

best decision i&#039;ve made in awhile."
