"26 years old, no children

i have been on the mirena for 3 months now. i went on it to stop my period as i work away and the facilities at camp are bad.

the insertion was extremely painful, i was told to take 2 panadol before to ease the pain.

 although extremely painful in my opinion it only lasted maybe 1-2 minutes and was over.

since then i got some mild spotting for about 2 days for which i used a panty liner.

i have not experienced any weight gain or skin issues.

i have not had my period since and i am very happy with the results. 

my sister just had hers done at the gyno last week (i went to the gp) and they put her on the gas - she said she didn&#039;t feel a thing.

gp - $120

gyno - $500
