"i had my mirena put in yesterday and it made me almost scream during the procedure. i have never had kids so i assume that is why it hurt. since then i have only had cramping and have been taking it easy. if i could do it again i would have asked to be numbed. i haven&#039;t really had any side effects besides nausea and slight bleeding. but for the most part my period stopped on the second day.  i am hoping that i will be fine without the weight gain and acne."
