birth control
"I am 28 years old and have one child. I've had my Mirena for about 4 months now. I was very scared and nervous for the insertion, from having read many people saying it was extremely painful and/or uncomfortable. It was no more painful or uncomfortable than my annual exam. 



I was in the middle of my period during insertion, and there was no more bleeding beyond the end of my cycle. Very slight cramping that I probably wouldn't even have noticed had I not been expecting it. 



The only thing I can say is that occasionally my cramps that I normally get during my period hurt differently. I've still gotten my period each month.



I love the Mirena!! Highly recommended."
