birth control
"Had mirena inserted 6/11/15. I was approx 9 weeks postpartum from my fourth child. My Ob/Gyn suggested mirena for me .

I read reviews beforehand and was a little scared about the insertion process; however, I did not feel anything much. It felt like a pap smear to me and only felt the odd sensation of the device being released but it was not painful. I was on day 2 of my period and it basically stopped that same evening. I did start bleeding lightly a week later and that continued to my dismay for 2 and a half more weekes it was never heavy, only light to slightly moderate and much lighter than my heavier period days. I thought the bleeding would never end and wanted to yank it out! Today is my first blood free day and I am hope it lasts!"
