"i loved it. i had it put in after being on yasmin for 2 years. i hated how i felt with birth control, so asked my doctor about mirena. i had not had any children yet and we wanted to wait a few years for them. the insertion was a little painful since my uterus was &quot;untouched&quot; by pregnancy but after a few hours of cramping, i was good to go. i lost 20 lbs that first year and my period, which started skipping months, stopped all together within the first year. once we wanted to start trying for a family, removal was painless. i am now a mother of a beautiful little 2 month old girl and i will be going back to my doctor to get mirena reinserted this month."
