just got it put in a few days ago. It was very painful for me (i haven't had any kids and i have a small cervix). The pain subside a little by the end of the night. I have still had some cramping and back pains along with some spotting. So far, even with the pain, i am decently happy. Takes the stress of pregnancy out.

I have only had slight break through bleeding, which occurred mostly within the 1st year of insertion. I have not had any periods or any pregnancy 'scares' like I did on the pill.

I love my IUD. The insertion was painful but tolerable, and for two years now I have had much shorter and less painful periods - fantastic. I don't have kids, which I know is when they usually like to do IUDs, but always hated the pill; Mirena has been great.

I had mirena inserted because Dr was concerned about long-term effects of Depo-Provera injections(which has worked beautifully for nearly 10 years). The insertion wasn't bad, but I developed lesions that made urination incredibly painful. Eventually medication cleared that up, but I was dry, itchy and uncomfortable - intercourse was painful.

I have had my mirena for almost 2 years now. I had very little pain upon insertion, about the same as a pap smear. My periods are lighter, shorter, and less frequent. I had heavy and unpredictable periods for the first few months, but after that it has been great!
