Birth Control
"I had my Mirena inserted 2 months ago.  I am 23 and have never had children, and the insertion pain was not too bad, actually better than my normal cramps.  I&#039;m still having very slight spotting, but no real periods since the insertion, which I&#039;m very happy about because of my painful periods with likely endometriosis. I have a little cramping still, but not bad at all, and its usually only when there&#039;s pressure on my abdomen, like when I&#039;m working out or need to have a bowel movement.  Also, I had to go on a non-estrogen form of contraception because I have migraines with auras, and I think these is a great alternative to oral contraceptive pills!  As a medical student, all the OB/GYNs I&#039;ve worked with have talked about the benefits of Mirena."
