"i am 30 years old and have never had children, i also have my tubes tied at the age of 26. i decided to get the mirena iud after i went to my obgyn and told him that i no longer wanted to have a period. ( my periods didn&#039;t last long maybe 2 to 4 days, but the cramping was unbarable but the actual flow was light.) 

 i have read all the horror stories on here and it honestly had me spooked. 

my obgyn recommended the mirena iud for the reasons i stated above. 

each person is different so each experience will be different as well. 

so i decided to get it done today. 

i had my doubts and voiced them with my obgyn prior to my procedure. 

he told me that i should give it a try at least 6 months and if i really didn&#039;t like it  i could always remove"
