Birth Control
"I had mirena implanted on my follow-up appointment one week after undergoing a medical abortion (mifepristone). I have a high pain tolerance; compared to the effects of the pills the prior week, the insertion was mildly uncomfortable but by no means unbearable. I took a pain pill prior to the procedure. I had a bit of bleeding and cramping in the two days following. Everything seemed to even out for the next week, other than random cramps and spotting. It has now been three weeks post-insertion, and the bleeding is slightly heavier, particularly following a strong cardio workout or other activity. I&#039;m hoping that this will work out, as my previous bc (the mini-pill) was awful and I never want to experience the consequences again."
