Birth Control
"I am a 20 year old with no children. I got the Mirena inserted the beginning of may (2011), so I have had it over a month now. Insertion was definitely painful, but only lasted a few minutes. I had some spotting that day and moderate cramping for a few days after, but just took some ibuprofen and it was bearable. A week ago, I had very very light spotting for about 5 days, I just wore a panty liner and it was fine, no cramping or anything either. I feel my strings after intercourse and its hard to find but my boyfriend can&#039;t feel it during sex so that&#039;s good. I love not having to take the pill (I was on it for 4 years prior to having the Mirena). So far I definitely recommend it."
