"i just had my second mirena put in and still love it. i had the first one put in three months after my first child was born. i was a little scared after reading the negative reviews, but i had no side effects and no period after having it in for a couple of months. i had it removed two years later to get pregnant with my second and again no problems.  i was pregnant in three months.  there was a little cramping when it was put in and during that day.  i have recommended this form of birth control to all my friends.  so don&#039;t be scared!  as my doctor said people early post the positive but love to post the negative!"
