birth control
"I got my Mirena placed about two weeks ago now. Previously I had been on Sprintec for 2 years, and NuvaRing for about the last two months before my Mirena placement. My reason for switching from Sprintec was that I would no longer be on a schedule where I could take a pill at the same time every day. NuvaRing was awful and caused me to bleed for a month straight, so I decided to try Mirena. 

The insertion was definitely painful, there's no denying that. But, the pain lasted maybe 10 seconds at the most. By the way, I have never had children.. I had pretty bad cramping for the first day after insertion. I stopped bleeding about 3-4 days after insertion (after a month of bleeding from NuvaRing!) and feel great now! Acne is getting better too"
