"i&#039;ve had the mirena for exactly a week now and i haven&#039;t really had any problems. during the insertion i bearly had any cramping and it only lasted for about 5 minutes. i bled quite a bit the day i got it put in and i had very light spotting the next day. but i haven&#039;t had any bleeding since then. i&#039;m really glad i decided to get the mirena. it&#039;s a great option for someone who just wants it to be put in and be able to forget about it for 6 years"
