Birth Control
"I am a 37 year old woman who has never had a child.  I switched to Mirena from Seasonale birth control because I get migraines with visual auras.  Taking an estrogen based birth control pill is contraindicated in women with visual aura migraines as it increases the risk of ischemic stroke.  I had the insertion done this morning and it took about a total of two minutes from the time the speculum was inserted, tenaculum used to spread the cervix and then the actual insertion of the Mirena.  On a pain scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst pain) I would say it was about a 7.  The uncomfortable part to me was when the tenaculum was used for cervix separation. Two hours later all I have is mild cramps."
