"switched from combination pill to mirena after 5 years on the pill. i&#039;m 27 and have never been pregnant.

the insertion was. the worst thing i&#039;ve ever experienced ! almost fainted. the following 8 hours i had really bad cramps (never really had them before), i&#039;d say a 8/10. also threw up six times and got diarrhoea. strange! the following 5 days light spotting, then light period (as planned) for about a week. 

it&#039;s now been almost 8 weeks since insertion, got my second period which was very light compared to being on the pill. apart from the horrible insertion i&#039;m very content with mirena, absolutely worth it! also much cheaper as my pill cost around $10 each month and the mirena only $70 for five years, perk of living in sweden."
