birth control
"Insertion: December 17th, 2012. Kids: None. Age: 26
Previous BC: YAZ, Ortho-TriCyclen. 

I had/have a few ovarian cysts and medium flow periods for 4-5 days before Mirena. Insertion hurt like a serious mother(WOW), but it was 2 minutes of my life. I bled very lightly for about 2-3 weeks after and since then have not had my period. You have no idea how AWESOME THAT IS. Insurance covered most of my Mirena. I had to pay the pre-insertion appointment and doctor's fees, etc. Only side effects for me include acne (which some might be attributed to me starting to work out a lot).

Best decision I've made in awhile."
