"i got the mirena march 2015. my doctor informed all of the symptoms i would probably get during &amp; after the procedure. the procedure was 10 minutes really easy. &amp; i went straight to work after. i didn&#039;t really bleed which was weird since i&#039;ve never been pregnant. after a month and a half i started spotting. this went on for like 4-5 months. sometimes it was daily other times it was barely anything. it honestly sucked but my doctor did mention that to me before my procedure. now i love it. my periods are either super light or nothing. i would recommend it to anyone who doesn&#039;t like periods, &amp; wants contraception lol. oh &amp; i only gained like 3 pounds for how much craving i got"
