"Well I got my Mirena on new years eve, it wasn&#039;t that painful (I&#039;m 18 never had kids) and I did it because the implant wasn&#039;t working for me. I don&#039;t regret my decision however, insertion was uncomfortable but nothing to worry about, the only issue for has been the heavy bleeding I&#039;m still getting, which isn&#039;t nice. However it has removed the majority of the pain I was in, I just wish the bleeding would stop. Overall I find it a lot better than some other forms of contraception and you can barely feel the strings anymore."
