I first got my Mirena IUD when I was 13-14 for hormonal-induced migraines. The insertion was very painful, but the cramping did not last too long after insertion. I had mild spotting for a few months, then my period stopped completely for 5 years. Last year, my period came back and has been irregular since. Overall, my period has been much lighter and my PMS symptoms and menstruation symptoms have been minimal. I also have noticed more stability in my mood and have had decreased migraines since starting my IUD.

I was very scared to get my IUD, but ultimately it was a great decision. It is easy because I don't have to remember to take a pill daily and you can always check that it is still in place. My symptoms have been minor and do not cause any disruptions to my daily life. I would recommend this form of birth control, but I would ask about pain management with your doctor before the insertion.
