"well! this is my first full week of mirena insertion and i am loving it so far. i was a bit skeptical with getting an iud and it took me some time to get to the doc to have this done (4 months of thinking &amp; review reading)! i didn&#039;t like the reviews that was out here so i began to get cold feet and not do it. but i really needed some form of bc. i have tried birth control pills for years and that was nice but it wasn&#039;t so nice because it raised my pressure! ( i was that 0.5% on the label i guess). however the procedure was standard it hurt like anything during insertion but no worst than cramps. same day a lil bleeding but that went away the next day. after 3 days i was good to jog, have sex, swim , whatever! 5 yrs of no worries, go 4 it !!"
