birth control
"I've had my Mirena for 5 weeks.  I am 24 yo and childless. I was on the Nuvaring before but I had gained some body fat in my lower abdominals and opted out of it. (I'm a fitness model) I had it inserted roughly two days before I was supposed to have my regular period. Insertion was extremely painful, I cramped very bad and I fainted. I woke in a cold sweat. Extremely nauseous, dizzy. I cramped off and on for about a week and had heavy bleeding for 9 days.  It went away.  Occasionally after sex, I will cramp for a few seconds but nothing serious.  I had a light period 4 weeks later for two days.  (Used to have heavy ones for 4-5 days).  Acne during period and some tender breasts.  Symptoms seem to be diminishing.  Will keep for the term!"
