"I&#039;m 35 years old and no children. I had Mirena put in about a month and a half ago. Insertion was not painful. Kind of like pap smear but longer. Little cramps but I thought - was that it? So nothing major there. Just that I&#039;ve been spotting ever since. I feel like it&#039;s getting old but I&#039;m trying to hang in there like my doctor told me. Already had my check up visit and she said everything looks fine. I do think I&#039;m gaining weight. In-between the insertion and check up 5 bounds. Now I feel bloated and fat. But I&#039;m determined to hang in there and see what happens. Overall I would recommend Mirena. The easiness of having birth control for the next 5 years for couple of months of spotting - I&#039;ll take it."
