Day 25 and 26

Well nothing is hurting or burning so YEY! (Also, today is my brother's 16th bday- He celebrates by playing video games like every other day of the week.) I haven't needed to take any ibuprofen lately so that is good. I'm really not sure what to write for y'all since I am feeling so well- these are turning into "I'm doing stuff today!" post. The 13th still feels so far away...

Day 23 and 24

My last post was about my discomfort and possibly being sick, apparently I'll just need to talk to my DR on the 13th because it doesn't burn nearly as much now. *Getting mixed signals body!* I'm feeling better though.

Day 21 and 22

So I have felt really good until this afternoon when I started hurting. I also burn a little, which I think could be another yeast infection ( I get them often) or something else- I'm still not a DR haha. Other than that I feel fine (:

Day 18, 19, 20

I have had some old placed cramping these last few days. I assume its because I'm done with my period but I'm not a DR. What I do know is that my strings are still there so it should be fine. Also, I have been >forcing< myself to be more physically active for school and for myself so my body may just be mad at me.

Day 16 and 17

Feeling pretty well today. I have a little cramping but its all good. I have to say, it started working REALLY fast for me. I still had my monthly but it was SO much lighter. You can't say "Have a Happy Period" until it leaves you feeling like this instead of hurting! I'm so happy :D

Day(s) 9, 10, 11,12,13,14,15

WHOA! Its been a week since I posted! I've been busy with other stuff so I'm sorry! But hey, it means I'm feeling great!! :D
First official "girl time" is almost over and already it is SO much better. It isn't gone but it is so much lighter I'm okay with it! I feel like it has been forever but I still have a month till my follow up! O.O

Time flies, but apparently not very fast.

Day 7 and 8

Hurt pretty bad at first but I slowly got better throughout the day.
Today seemed pretty good. Didn't start hurting till mid day but I don't think it is because of my Mirena. Also, I don't know what your preference is but I HATE pads and tampons hurt at the moment. So be warned, there could be discomfort....

 Sorry for my bad art ;P

Day 5 and 6

I was still feeling well enough to help out yesterday so I didn't log on. However today is super cramps and although I have caped out my daily Ibuprofen I still hurt... Managed to take brother to a Dr atp then had to lay down when home. Grrrr. Also, today is the first "official" day of spotting- might explain my major pain.

Day 3 and 4

Sorry I didn't post... I was out all day and busy cleaning the next. Obviously I feel well enough to stay busy. Still cramps but they don't hurt as much anymore.

Day 2

Owwww. Major cramps today but I took some ibuprofen to help. I managed to clean, trim and wash 1 of 2 cats, shower, and go out to eat. Baggy clothes today! :(

Day 1

Things seem to be doing well. Woke up, slight cramps, took some ibuprofen. There is little to no blood- not even enough for me to consider calling it spotting. I'm hoping this means my body is accepting the IUD and things will still be good in a month+.

Feel a little more cramping when I bend to pick things up so I'm trying to be careful. With all of the horror stories of it going missing inside I don't want to test it. O.O So take things a little easy, it was a surgery.

Getting it done

Today at 1 PM I got the Mirena IUD to help with my heavy periods and to prevent any kids before I'm ready.

I want say it didn't hurt getting it put in, but it wasn't nearly as bad as people have said it would be. To me to worst part was actually being held open NOT getting it inserted. I squeezed my moms hand waiting to the real pain to start and it never came. The entire experience felt exactly like a bad day on my period. The doctor even said that I did really well (for being 18) and that teens are actually less likely to scream like her adult patients. There was a little blood but she said that was normal but to come back if it got worse than my normal.

I was getting a little warm on the way home and took some Ibuprofen and laid back watching TV as soon as we got in. Everything seems to be okay. Just another day feeling like GIRL WOMAN.

I'll keep this updated as much as I can. Follow up APT to make sure everything is okay in on June 13th!

If you're like me and not sure exactly what was going on this will help you.
