Birth Control
"I had my Mirena IUD inserted 4 days ago. Insertion was somewhat painful; I&#039;m 21 with no children, but with ibuprofen and a long nap after wards I wasn&#039;t feeling too bad. Don&#039;t be scared; I was sitting on the exam table and almost backed out, so glad I didn&#039;t. I did get somewhat lightheaded during the insertion and for about 30 minutes afterwards (luckily I had a friend drive me to my appointment). I had intercourse 3 days after insertion and had no problems! My boyfriend said he couldn&#039;t feel it. I&#039;ve had light spotting off and on and some cramping/backache. Overall, so far so good."
