birth control
"This is the second Mirena that I have had put in and I love it. The insertion was very painful and I had some cramping for few days, then nothing. I have not had a period in 7yrs, no break through bleeding/cramping/spotting. I also have not noticed any significant weight gain like some people do with certain birth controls. Removing the first one after 5yrs was also a piece of cake not nearly as painful as putting it in!! I love it!! Probably will put another one in(which would make 3) if I still need it by then I'm 43 not sure what the rules are about age and the the max amount of yrs you can have this."
