Comparing Liletta vs Mirena

For Birth Control Got liletta on 10/13/16 and so far so good. Before it I couldn't have sex without pain and now my sex life has never been better. I had cramping the day I got it but it was gone the next morning. I did also have spotting the day of and that has gone as well. I will update in a couple of weeks but so far so good.

For Birth Control I am 25 no kids never had BC I got liletta about 3 months ago. Insertion wasn’t that bad. I took some pain pills before I went. It was like a really bad cramp and only lasted a few minutes. Afterwards I didn’t bleed at all for a week and then I was spotting every day for about a month. I’m going into my 3rd month and have not had a period since getting it at all. I cramped so badly for an entire month. I had to carry Advil with me everywhere I went. But after the first month passed they settled down. Now on month 3 the cramps are very rare. The 1st month my skin was awful I was depressed and had so many mood swings that 1st month. And now at the 3rd month I am noticing the breast tenderness everyone mentions. I also have like a really thick clear jellylike discharge. I’m still waiting for my first period while having the IUD. (I’ve taken pregnancy tests so I know that’s not it) but now that the cramps have settled I’m a lot happier with my IUD.

For Birth Control I got the mirena as for me it sounded like the best option, not having to worry about it for 5 years and it has less hormones than the pill. Before I went in I had 2 ibuprofen and an oxy. I got it in just as my period was ending as the cervix is generally a bit more dilated and to minimise bleeding. For background I am 21 with no kids. The procedure was fairly painless and just felt some slight cramping as the doctor put it in the cervix. The day I got it in (Monday) I couldn't get out of bed for around 5 hours after as it was just serious cramping which is normal and is your body adjusting, Day two was normal period like cramps and slight discharge. Day three (Today) no cramping and no discharge and feeling great. Don't be discouraged by one persons negative experience always try it out for yourself, you may love it and its not really a big deal to get it taken out if you don't.

For Birth Control Ladies!!! Do yourself a favor and stop reading these. Everybody is different and we all have different insertion experiences. I just got mirena inserted this morning. I am 24 years old and I've never had a baby. I was extremely nervous, as this was my second attempt at inserting mirena. I went last week and my cervix was too tight so they sent me home with a prescription that was to be put in my vagina the next week before I go in again. The second time (this morning) was a lot easier. Yes, it does hurt a bit but nothing I couldn't handle. Honestly the worst part for me was the cramps afterwards. I had bad cramps for about 5 minutes and ended up throwing up. After that I felt much better.
