birth control
"I'm 18 and I've had the Mirena for about 6 months. I wanted to try a new form of birth control because I always forgot to take the pill and I spotted really bad with the nuvaring. I took pain killers about an hour before the insertion of my IUD On a scale of 1-10 the pain was probably a 3. It's uncomfortable more than anything. There was some pressure, a slight pinch followed by a little cramping but the pain was very mild. My doctor said that light spotting and cramping is expected for about 6 months but I haven't experienced any if that. I went to soccer practice that day and felt 100% fine. 6 months later I haven't had any noticeable side effects! I haven't had a period either. 10/10 would recommend."
