"i have had mirena now for about 3 months. i had it inserted at 12 weeks post partum and experienced no pain, just some odd pulling sensations. i was able to drive home right away and felt fine. i had some minor cramping and bleeding for a couple weeks. now i have been spotting here and there and having long periods but was told that should regulate after 6 months so i am sitting tight for that. i have had no weight gain, actually lost 3 lbs so far. no acne, no mood swings, can&#039;t feel it, neither can my partner. so far so good. i love how effective it is and that i don&#039;t have to remember to take anything. i&#039;d recommend it."
