"i love my mirena. i was awful at taking a pill everyday. when my doctor and i started going through my options i tried the nuvaring first. i was disappointed by it and wanted to try something different. 

got mirena in september of last year. the placement was not the greatest. a little crampy but nothing unexpected.  please note: i have never had a child or been pregnant before. doctors say that it is more painful for girls in my case. it really wasn&#039;t half bad. i did have spotting for about 5 months. nothing out of the ordinary. but now i have had no period in more than 4 months. needless to say, in the beginning i was skeptical but i love this birth control, and so does my boyfriend."
