birth control
"I got the Mirena inserted October 21st of 2015. I was 20 at the time & have no children. I got the Mirena since I'm ineligible for permanent birth control. The procedure itself was quite painful but not unbearable it felt like a bad cramp and a pinch. I had taken some pain meds 30 minutes beforehand. The procedure only lasted a few minutes. The cramping I'll admit was quite painful not as bad as my normal cramps. I considered getting it removed but I've heard symptoms of bleeding & cramping can last week's even months. I gave it time & after around 3 weeks the cramping had stopped. But now it works great! Period is slowly fading! I truly have no complaints. As I hear my reaction to cramping was normal!"
