Birth Control
"I didn&#039;t know anything about Mirena except that it was a little T-shaped piece of plastic that lasts for 5 years.  So I chose to get it. I&#039;ve had slight occasional cramping and rare bleeding that&#039;s very light and only lasts a few hours when it does occur.  I&#039;ve had it in for about 2 1/2 years.  The only scary thing is reading the horror stories all these women have about it.  I have had no problems since it&#039;s insertion aside from terrible cramping for about a half hour while my cervix adjusted to it once it was put in.  I know that as long as nothing bad ends up happening that I&#039;ll be having it replaced once my 5 years is up.  I love Mirena."
