Levonorgestrel
birth control
"I USED to have very, very heavy periods and very painful cramps. It's been 8 months since my last period! They stopped 4 months after Mirena was implanted and I can't express enough how much I love it! I'll admit, I've never been pregnant so it HURT when the doctor put it in, but that pain lasted a minute at most so it was completely worth it. I recommend it to every lady. It is the most effective form of birth control, you don't have to worry about taking a pill every day or getting a shot every 3 months. I'd get it even if I wasn't sexually active. Best of all, I got it for free at Planned Parenthood! If you don't think you can afford it or if your insurance doesn't cover it, get an appointment with Planned Parenthood and see how they can help. It is great."
