http://www.medications.com/effect/view/32630 I got the Mirena after my 2nd child in April 2007 at the age of 25. It was very painful and I can handle pain I had just done completely natural child birth to a 9 pound baby. I bleed for the first three months. With really bad cramps!!

Granted the first few months its hard.. but in the long run its worth it.. If you read carefully, most of the women posting on here have only had their mirenas a short amount of tim http://www.medications.com/effect/view/32630?item=10368 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:55:22 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/32630?item=10369 Please be careful about advising women to stick it out. That's what many doctors do, causing women to second guess their own intuitions. Lots of women come on this forum who have had that "light bulb" moment, like I did.

I can honestly say that I have given it a fair try... for me, it sucked big time and has made quite a (negative) difference in my life. Don't stick it out too long, or yo http://www.medications.com/effect/view/32630?item=10377
