"had mirena inserted 6/11/15. i was approx 9 weeks postpartum from my fourth child. my ob/gyn suggested mirena for me .

i read reviews beforehand and was a little scared about the insertion process; however, i did not feel anything much. it felt like a pap smear to me and only felt the odd sensation of the device being released but it was not painful. i was on day 2 of my period and it basically stopped that same evening. i did start bleeding lightly a week later and that continued to my dismay for 2 and a half more weekes it was never heavy, only light to slightly moderate and much lighter than my heavier period days. i thought the bleeding would never end and wanted to yank it out! today is my first blood free day and i am hope it lasts!"
