hey there, I got mirena a few months after the birth of my second, so almost a year ago. It produced some cramping during the insertion but nothing much major there. I had breakthrough bleeding where I wore a thin pad all the time for 4-6 weeks. I've been breastfeeding since then so I haven't gotten any periods. It's really great not to worry about it. I didn't like the idea of having it in for 10 years like paraguard and it's got a slightly lower rate of pregnancy (about .01%). Generally I recommend it, just make sure you've got insurance because I think it's like 3-4K without it. I paid about 300 and some. good luck!
