"i am 25, and i had the mirena inserted 8 weeks after my second son was born. i was prepared for a painful experience, but as i sat there preparing myself for pain, i was relieved when the m.d. said okay done, and i had felt nothing. i bled heavily for about a month after insertion, and one small period the next month, but after this, no periods. i&#039;ve managed to lose my baby weight, back at 135lbs. of course i&#039;m tired i have one son who is 2 1/2 and another is 10 months old. any hair loss i had was coordinated with stopping breast feeding, and so far no cramping/migraines outside the normal. so overall i&#039;m completely happy with my choice of the mirena."
