"i have had the mirena for about 4 and a half years now i got it at my 6 week appointment after my son was born. i have always been blessed with super light cycles lasting maybe 3 days with no cramping, bloating things of that nature and even now i don&#039;t have one at all just a little spotting randomly. my weight has been cool and my skin, i&#039;m a hairstylist so my hair is in great condition. i had 2 of my 3 sisters had the mirena. one made hers come out and got pregnant and the other had to take hers out due to thyroid issues being a heavy smoker and just poor health. i have not got pregnant so i recommend it."
