I love the Mirena IUD and would highly recommend it! It does
hurt to have it inserted, but only for a few minutes...well
worth it for 5 years of birth control! My periods have been
light to almost non existant since the third month of having it
inserted, in fact, all i have to use is a panty liner during my
cycle! Do take at least some ibuprofen about an hour before your
appointment, but even still, be prepared for a strong pinching
cramp when they put it through your cervix....but like I said,
well worth it!
