"i had mirena inserted 10 months ago after the birth of my 2nd daughter and i love it. the insertion was easy, it felt like cramps. at first i was concerned because i bled for so long, but my doctor assured me it was just my body getting used to it. since then i haven&#039;t had a period at all. i don&#039;t even get spotting. also, i&#039;ve been lucky and i haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain from it. i would recommend it to any woman as an easy form of birth control. it gives me freedom and puts my mind at ease, i never have to worry about whether i remembered to take my pill, if it&#039;s time to change my patch, or scheduling an appointment for my next shot."
