"i had the mirena put in on june 9th, i&#039;m 44 and have never had kids.  the procedure was quick and slightly painful,  but nothing major.  i had cramping,  just as if i was on my period for a day or 2. started my regular period on the 22nd,  for about a week,  and have had some spotting since,  (today is july 1)but nothing too bad.  i&#039;m new into this,  so hoping the periods go away like people have said.  but so far,  it seems good!"
