"i was so excited when i learned i was a good candidate for the mirena, after have 2 kiddos 17 months apart i was done for awhile! the initial insertion was a breeze! i didn&#039;t hardly feel it and as just a precaution i took some tylenol and had no issues. that very next month my period was non existent. no cramping or bleeding, i was one happy mommy! now we are going on a little over 2 years and something is terribly wrong! for the past 6 months i have been spotting (which i haven&#039;t had since before insertion?) intense cramping and killer headaches. i have an appointment scheduled the first of the year and plan to take it out. yes, the first 2 years were amazing but if this contraception is the cause of how i&#039;ve felt lately it isn&#039;t worth it."
