birth control
"I LOVE MIRENA! I had my Mirena inserted Nov. 18, 2011 and I'm not going to lie, it hurt! I heard it hurts worse if you haven't had any kids, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. It hurt, but it wasn't too terrible. Just a big pinching/burning cramp for about 3 seconds and that was it! I took 800mg of ibuprofen before I went in, so that may have helped. After my Mirena was inserted (I had it inserted the first day of my period), I spotted for a solid month. However, the spotting was so slight it didn't bother me at all. I just used the thinnest panty liner I could find and it worked. Since then, I have had one period (very light spotting for maybe 2 days) and nothing since! I am extremely happy with my decision to go with Mirena!!"
