I have to honestly say I LOVE the Mirena. Yes it was a little painful when it was inserted but that is the only bad thing I have to say about the Mirena. I have had the Mirena for about 2 1/2 years now. I don't have to worry about taking a pill everyday, gaining weight or the best part not having a period. I spot very little for like a day and to be honest it is only when I go to the bathroom and wipe is when I notice that Im spotting. I guess Im just one of the lucky ones that can use this method of birth control.

That is wonderful that you don't feel horrible on the Mirena. It is good you are one of the ones who did not lose relationships, self-esteem, have been on anti-depressants, joint pain so bad they were sent to specialist for Arthritis, bleeding for months and months on end, have had to get it surgically removed or repaired because it migrated out of the uterus, have try to commit suicide from the depression. I am happy it works for you. It is because of people like you that the company and doctors insist that all OUR problems could definately NOT be the Mirena. Well I had one in and have had it removed and my symptoms disappeared in a matter of weeks and I feel like a whole new person. I guess you are one of the lucky ones but saying it that way undermines and takes away from our hurts and loses and I am not sure this is the site for you.

I agree with the person above. Sure, its good that some people have no problems with this product, but sooo many people have. Myself included. I don't think its fair that you should rub salt in the wound for the any people on here who have experienced horrendous side-effects. Good luck to you. I would be careful though, if you notice any side effects they generally get worse over time and not better. And I never experienced side effects untill I'd had it in for 2 years. Now I have it out I feel amazing. Like I felt before I had it put in.
