"i&#039;ve had mirena for almost ten months. i&#039;ve had probably a more negative beginning with it than most. it was extremely painful for me, i was in pain for weeks after and then i got an infection. i had to take two prescriptions because i had vaginosis due to the mirena insertion that didn&#039;t clear up right away.  

of course all of that sounds terrible, but most people do not experience that. now i am completely fine and recommend mirena to everyone i know.  my acne is stabilized, my periods are almost non-existent, and i&#039;m not pregnant which is the main reason of the mirena. i do not use condoms with my fiance and i&#039;ve been completely protected against getting pregnant."
