birth control
"I had the Mirena put in on June 9th, I'm 44 and have never had kids.  The procedure was quick and slightly painful,  but nothing major.  I had cramping,  just as if I was on my period for a day or 2. Started my regular period on the 22nd,  for about a week,  and have had some spotting since,  (today is July 1)but nothing too bad.  I'm new into this,  so hoping the periods go away like people have said.  But so far,  it seems good!"
