Birth Control
"I&#039;m 32 and just had Mirena placed 3 days ago.  I didn&#039;t take any painkillers prior to the insertion and have not had any children.  While it was slightly uncomfortable and I did feel some cramping during the insertion I have not had any discomfort since.  I&#039;ve had very light bleeding and expect it to continue for a while.  For now I&#039;m giving it a 5, hopefully my rating will increase as the days and months go by.  I am on multiple medicines that can cause very serious birth defects so getting pregnant is not an option for me.  Some of these medicines cause stomach upset and the pill has always made me slightly queasy so something that works just as well as the pill and hasn&#039;t given me any side effects yet is a blessing.
