Birth Control
"32 years old, Two children: Admittedly I am only 1 month into having the Mirena but after reading all the negative reviews I have to share my experience so far.

Yes, there was some discomfort when it got put it. There is a pinch, some pain &amp; some cramping. But it passes &amp; can be aided with a heat pack &amp; pain killers. During the insertion I was offered a sedative or laughing gas. I had neither &amp; managed just fine.

I think it&#039;s important to remember EVERY woman is different - different bodies, different tolerances &amp; take into account age, health, fitness &amp; so on. I&#039;ve noticed my breasts ARE swollen a little but not sore. I am currently having my first &quot;period&quot; since insertion - light spotting &amp; little actual bleeding.

I feel great so far!"
