I have had my Mirena for 2 months now. I have not had any children, so my cervix had to be dilated for insertion. That was hell!!! . Thankfully, the procedure was very quick. I had horrible cramping all day. I have had a lot of cramping in the past two months, and an occasional sharp pain in my abdomen. Other than a little spotting the day after the procedure, I have had no bleeding at all for two months. About a month after I got Mirena, I had a day or two of torturous cramps - more like contractions at times. It's been about another month, and I am having these contraction-like cramps again. I'm hoping they'll pass in another day or so because they are debilitating. My doctor told me to give it three months for my body to get used to it, so I hope everything will be okay. I want to like Mirena, because I know I'm unable to remember to take a pill everyday. My friend has one and loves it. She says she can barely remember what those days of uncomfort are like. I have an appointment next week to trim the strings. Sex has been uncomfortable sometimes, causing me to cramp up. And my boyfriend got "poked" the other day - it kinda killed the mood. I hope my body gets used to Mirena, and I wish you all luck with yours!
