"i read so many horror stories about mirena online when researching whether or not to get one.  despite this, i went with it based on my doctor&#039;s personal experience (having had one herself) as well as the results of the patients she placed them in, which she said most people really liked it.  i love this!  it wasn&#039;t all that pleasant of an experience when it was inserted, but the pinching pain lasted all of about 30 seconds.  i was completely fine afterwards.  my periods have gotten lighter and lighter and now are officially gone!!  i knew this was a potential perk but i&#039;m so happy that it actually happened to me!  
i hate birth control pills and am so happy i decided on 
mirena.  such a great decision! highly recommend!"
