abnormal uterine bleeding
"I had mirena placed 13 months ago and I am soooo happy.  Before mirena I had absolutely horrific periods and bled more than I could handle.  The cramps were unbearable.  Because I am not able to remember to take a pill everyday my doctor recommended this.  The placement, not going to lie, hurt a lot.  Taking motrin beforehand did not help at all, but I got through it and only had some slight cramping afterwards for a few hours.  For the first month and a half I bled, which as first was worrying but eventually it stopped and since I have not had any bleeding at all with the exception of they tiniest amount maybe twice since.  I no longer have to use anything, not even liners.  I still get light cramping but it is absolutely nothing compared."
