"i&#039;ve had the mirena inserted on monday november 4th. so far so good. i thought it was going to hurt during insertion. to my surprise , when the doctor was done i didn&#039;t even realize it. no cramping so far and very little spotting. my mirena was inserted after the last day of my period, i have it to help with heavy menstrual bleeding. i think the reason i don&#039;t have a lot of the complications that i have read that most women have is because my tubes are already tied, clipped and burnt. so far so good."
