Has anyone tried Mirena birth control?? How has it worked for you?

Yes! I love it so much.

How long have you had it?

since November. I got it at my 6 weeks appointment. it hurt to get it put in. all I had was a little cramping and then light bleeding. now I don't get my periods and no cramps!

it's not for everyone though.. I've heard some horror stories

I've had it twice and loved it!! It is VERY effective and my periods completely went away. The second one was hitting me a little because it wasn't up far enough forso I decided to get it removed. I ended up pregnant 2 months after getting removed and going on the pill.

@wisconsinmom, I just got mine put in today. So I'm curious and want to hear other people's opinions.

@amandab, did you cramp and bleed when you first got it in? If so for how long? How long did it take for you not to have periods?

@paris824, I didn't get any cramping or bleeding after getting in. My periods were very light to where I only had to use a panty liner and then fully disappeared after about 6 months.

@amandab, maybe I'm bleeding because I literally just got off my period. But I did cramp a little after it was put in. I so hope my period goes away lol

Some people have bleeding and some don't.I had cramping after I got it removed and bled for a month straight though. I loved not having a period.lol It makes your period super light and way shorter. It was like I was just spotting for like 2-3 days. Then they went away. I'm thinking about getting the mirena again after I have my baby in June.

@paris824, forgot to tag you

@amandab, did you keep it for the full 5 years the first time around?

@paris824, yes, I had it for the full 5years. I got it right after I had my son, who is 7 now. I had the 2nd one for 2 years.

@amandab, thank you so much!
