Birth Control
"I have had 3 kids all via c-section and had Mirena inserted over 2 months ago.  For me personally, insertion was not painful at all.  The thing they use to open me up during pap smears was the thing I felt most.  I didn&#039;t use any medication before or after insertion.  I didn&#039;t have any cramping after insertion either.  So far I still have irregular bleeding/spotting.  I&#039;m hoping that goes away soon since it&#039;s been over 2 months.  I have noticed an increase in hair loss, but I can&#039;t be certain it&#039;s from Mirena or from a stressful move to a new very hot &amp; humid state.  I haven&#039;t had any mood swings, depression, or acne like others have stated.  So far I&#039;m pleased with it.  And hopefully my bleeding will stop soon so I can rate it a &quot;10&quot;!"
