birth control
"I love this mirena. I got the mirena nov 2009 and I plan on keeping it for the whole five years. When I first got it put in, it really hurt and I had the bad cramps for a day or too. After a few days the pain went away. Now I have light spotting once a month for a couple of days but this is way easier than the pill, the patch or any other birth control. I don't feel my strings but I have the doctor check for them every so often to make sure that everything is ok, and maybe sometimes I can't be so ruff during sex but in the end it is all worth it because I have one 3 yr old son and that is all I want for now until my 5 yrs with this mirena is up."
