birth control
"I'm in my mid 30s and love to travel. The reason I wanted Mirena is so that I wouldn't accidentally become pregnant before any of my scheduled vacations! 
I don't have children so I was extremely nervous about the pain I would experience. I had the Mirena inserted just yesterday. I will tell you the pressure I felt was "different" and felt like a much more intense pap. I immediately began to feel cramping but took a Motrin 800. Felt great after that. Now, at 3:45 am, I am experiencing more cramping. I think it's time for another Motrin. 
I hated taking a pill every day, was afraid of weight gain with the depo shot, and was scared away from the implanon by my former ob/gyn. I read 1st 6 months are hell, looking forward to month 7!"
