"i&#039;ve had the mirena for about a month now. i was terrified of it because of reviews. before i got it inserted, i took 2 advil and i was super nervous. she told me to relax as much as i can because getting a shot to relax would be more painful. it wasn&#039;t painful and was pretty fast. it wasn&#039;t pain but pressure and like a very strong cramp. 

i had a lot of cramps and i had bleeding the first day. i wasn&#039;t on my period when i had it inserted. i didn&#039;t have any bleeding the first two weeks and then i started to get spotting and its been two weeks of light spotting. it&#039;s not that bothersome. i do get cramps from time to time and a bit of bloating. 

i did have unprotected sex with my long time boyfriend yesterday and i think i am fine."
