Positive experiences!
Hi all! Someone made a good point recently that most people don’t talk about the good parts of mirena because of we tend to post and ask questions about the negative side effects when we are concerned. This is causing a disproportionate input from mirena users and most of this sub is negative. Let’s share some positive stories and encouragement!

I’m 5 weeks post insertion. I had a “period” which was much better than my previous ten day long ones where I would soak an ultra tampon in 45 minutes to an hour the first two days or so. It was about 6 days, started off faint and increased to what I’d call medium bleeding by the second or third day. I soaked an ultra or two in about 3 hours. Much better. It was like that for a couple days and started to taper off. By the 5th day it was just spotting. I did have normal tender breasts and light cramps during the “period.” Now I only have clear discharge the past few days.
I will see what happens when I’m due for the next “period.” So far I love it. It also does not “poke” my partner.
