"i love my mirena! i&#039;ve had it for about 3 months. i experienced a little bit of spotting for the first few weeks, but never a full period. and i didn&#039;t even cramp. the insertion wasn&#039;t that bad either. they dilated my cervix and numbed me for everything. the initial cramping was the worst part of it, but the cramps subsided after about 5 days and were manageable with motrin. my boyfriend and i are loving the benefits of my mirena, and i would recommend it to anyone!"
