Has anyone here had any experience with IUCs or more specifically, Mirena?

1 Answer

Answer :

I had an IUD for 6 months, specifically the Mirena, and I cramped and hurt like hell the entire time, so I had it removed. My sister in law has had her Mirena for several years and hasn’t had any problems. I guess it depends on the person.
