"i am 21 and got mirena in september of last year. the first day was uncomfortable, it felt like really bed menses cramps, but since then i haven&#039;t even felt it. it did take a bit of getting used to on my husband&#039;s part, but now it&#039;s no problem. i&#039;m lazy and have problems taking a pill every day, so i&#039;m very happy with how carefree mirena is. i haven&#039;t gained any weight (in fact i&#039;m almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight) my periods are significantly lighter! i still spot for a day or two every couple months, which i can live with. i haven&#039;t had any problems with mirena! i know all women are different, but i would totally recommend this!"
