"well i just had my first child at 25, never had tried birth control and i choose to go with mirena to prevent pregnancy for 3 years. it has been about 7 months and i love i don&#039;t have to use condoms but i haven&#039;t been regular since i got it in.. it does effect my sex life, but i&#039;m hoping that very soon i&#039;ll have no more periods. i do recommend it. i didn&#039;t have pain even though my doctor had little problem with putting it in but i felt little to no pressure and light spotting. so hopefully my period goes away and i don&#039;t get pregnant and i will give it a 10."
