"well i&#039;ve had the mirena for about 2 months. i&#039;m 22, no kids. i have tried different pills but i was horrible about remembering. the insertion of the mirena was really painful. i have had kidney stones and insertion wasn&#039;t quite as bad as that. after 2 days of horrible cramping it went away. after 3 weeks of spotting/ bleeding i stopped and have not had any period since. i do have cramps sometimes. i have not gained or lost any weight. no hair loss. no changes in acne. the only thing i&#039;ve noticed is that i now have lots
 of little fine hairs all over my chin and side of my face. way more than before. not a huge deal, but annoying. my boyfriend can not feel it at all and my sex drive is the same. so far i love it."
