"i was 23 years old when i gave birth to my daughter and decided i wanted to give mirena a try as my next birth control. i have high hormone levels which makes regular birth control a nightmare due to the frequent migraines. so after exhuasting most birth control choices before my daughter&#039;s birth, mirena was one of the last choices i had left. i&#039;ve had it for over a year now (may, 2015) and i have no conplaints. i still get the slight cramping as if i am going to start my cycle but no blood and no major pain from it. it was a choice that really worked for me."
