Birth Control
"I wanted to discuss my experience because before having Mirena inserted I searched the internet and saw mostly terrifying experiences.  I would recommend Mirena to ANYONE!  Insertion was slighly uncomfortable, but no worse than a large period cramp, spotting for about a week after that was intense along with cramps, but nothing that is unbearable (especially when you consider one week compared to 5 years of cramps) and I am now into my 2nd month.  My period is very slight and no cramping.  I have totally forgotten it is even in there and love the freedom it&#039;s afforded.  I have had terrible weight gain with other forms of birth control, so this was a large concern; so far no weight gain, no mood swings, no acne, no bad side effects at all!"
