"i am 21 and have not had children yet. my husband and i thought mirena was a good idea because we want to wait a few years to conceive since i am in college still, and we want to be more settled before we start trying. well i was nervous about the procedure, which was pretty painful but all i said was woah! no tears or anything so it wasn&#039;t that bad. however, since i have had mirena (4 months) i have had heavy cramping (like if i stand up i get lightheaded and the pain is almost unbearable) and unpredictable periods with light to really, really heavy bleeding. i am going to give it 2 more months, however my husband is seriously encouraging me to have it taken out since he hates seeing me in intense pain regularly."
