I got my Mirena after having a medical abortion in Dec 07. My doc...

I got my Mirena after having a medical abortion in Dec 07. My doctors in the past never allowed me to have an IUC because I haven't had children. The one thing I didn't read when we decided on it was the pain of the insertion! Plus my Gyno could get it to stay in! He had to put it in 5 times, and then when I went to have it checked the strings disappeared. So I had to have another Ultrasound. (I had to have one to get the RU486 stuff). So we expected any emotional stuff to be from that. Well my sex drive is fine... my boyfriend is the one without it! The problem is that if he ever gets his back I will probably be bleeding. Shorter lighter periods my ass... Mine are longer heavier and more painful than when I was on the pill. At least I haven't gotten pregnant. But now my bf doesn't have any sex drive so I could only get pregnant by immaculate conception! Is it as painful to have it removed? Since I don't have the strings will I need to take the pills again to force it out or something?
