Mirena (levonorgestrel) : Mirena (levonorgestrel) is a good choice for many women. It can be put in in the office setting. Some discomfort for the first week is typical, and your doctor will give you pain medication for that. You may need advil intermittently the first month after that. Then, you typically have decreasing or no periods for 5 years. Most women are very happy with the mirena (levonorgestrel).
