"32 years old, two children: admittedly i am only 1 month into having the mirena but after reading all the negative reviews i have to share my experience so far.

yes, there was some discomfort when it got put it. there is a pinch, some pain &amp; some cramping. but it passes &amp; can be aided with a heat pack &amp; pain killers. during the insertion i was offered a sedative or laughing gas. i had neither &amp; managed just fine.

i think it&#039;s important to remember every woman is different - different bodies, different tolerances &amp; take into account age, health, fitness &amp; so on. i&#039;ve noticed my breasts are swollen a little but not sore. i am currently having my first &quot;period&quot; since insertion - light spotting &amp; little actual bleeding.

i feel great so far!"
