Birth Control
"I got Mirena put in about two months ago. Insertion sort of hurt, not terribly, but it did hurt.  But, it only takes a few minutes so it wasn&#039;t a big deal. The first two or three weeks were very &quot;crampy&quot; for me. They say this happens more with women who have not ever had children (that&#039;s me).  But, the crampy feeling went away.  Now, I don&#039;t feel a thing and it&#039;s all good.  I&#039;ve only had it in a short time and have had two periods extremely light, like I need about four-five tampons for the whole period and even a liner would probably be sufficient. I have lost a couple of pounds since having the Mirena, not sure if there is a correlation or not.  The only downside is I have noticed an increase in pimples."
