Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I had the Mirena inserted 10/30/16. The doctor had trouble getting it in &amp; it was an incredibly painful experience because I have never given birth and my uterus is retroverted (tilted back.)



A couple days after I had it inserted, I started my period. I am currently on day #17, and I&#039;ve had cramps for every day of it. Some days it seems to slow down and I think it&#039;s about to stop, but then it becomes heavy again.



I bought a heating pad a couple days ago and it really helps to relieve some of the pain. However, it has also made my flow much heavier. (Maybe this will speed up the process?) I&#039;m willing to wait until I&#039;ve had it for six months. Hopefully the end will justify the means and I&#039;ll have five years of worry-free birth control."
