I just got my 3rd Mirena yesterday. You get some mild cramping and bleeding after insertion. A lot of people also find that their periods are lighter after your body regulates. Mine were already light so my periods go away until it gets removed. It is by far my favorite birth control.
I have the non hormonal one.. I think its the paragard. I the insertion wasn't too bad. I spotted for a few days. Take some ibuprofen 30 mins before. I decided on no hormones to hopefully avoid it from making my ppd worse (I have a history of ppd).
Im nervous . I've only taken pills before . I breastfeed so I believe I'll be getting non hormonal as well but Im so scared . I know it'll be best for me because I don't want anymore babies anytime soon , and would loooove a lighter period !
I got it about 2 weeks ago I had some cramping and bleeding when I got it and then I was fine. A week later I’m bleeding again ??♀️ but I’m sure it’ll just take time for my body to adjust
I just got the non hormonal one put in this week. Wasn’t too bad. Just a little uncomfortable and spotted for a couple days. But my ob said with the Paraguard it can make your period more heavy, not light.

I’m getting it next week. A bit nervous about it, but I think it’s the best option for what I want.
