I have been on the Mirena for 3 months now. I went on it to stop my period as I work away and the facilities at camp are bad.

The insertion was extremely painful, I was told to take 2 panadol before to ease the pain.

 Although extremely painful in my opinion it only lasted maybe 1-2 minutes and was over.

Since then I got some mild spotting for about 2 days for which I used a panty liner.

I have not experienced any weight gain or skin issues.

I have not had my period since and I am very happy with the results. 

My sister just had hers done at the gyno last week (I went to the GP) and they put her on the gas - she said she didn't feel a thing.

GP - $120

Gyno - $500
