Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I am 40. I had to change my birth control pills when I got 40. They weren&#039;t strong enough for me because I bled real heavy and for 7 days and every other week. So I decided to let my OB/GYN insert the Mirena which she had tried to get me to get before trying those lighter birth control pills. Its only been a week but I love not having to think about taking pill. Also I was on my period when it was inserted, my period became light the same day and was for three days. For me the placement was a 3 on a scale of 1-10 with pain. But my cervix is push far back &amp; to the side and they had to pull it towards them to place it and that pain was a 7. So far no regrets only wish I had did it sooner. "
