"i have never had kids and am not in a position to have kids any time soon. mirena was a perfect solution. having it inserted hurt like hell but only for a few seconds and then i had a good 2 months of on and off cramping but its been a year and a half and so far and i love it. i really don&#039;t get a period anymore which is amazing considering how heavy my periods were before. best thing ever in my opinion."
