Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"To anyone thinking about the getting the Mirena.... expect to bleed for weeks afterwards but don&#039;t be worried. I&#039;ve had mine for 3 years now and haven&#039;t had a period in 2 years. I&#039;ve spotted once or twice but my periods weren&#039;t bad in the first place. Everyone&#039;s different. The insertion was PAINFUL and at first I bleed for 4-6 weeks with bad cramps. It was horrible but I&#039;m glad I stuck it out. The piece of mind I get from such an effective birth control was worth the rough beginning."
