Does anybody have anything GOOD to report about Mirena? I got...

My sister in law loved it. I think she had it for 3 years but she wanted to get pregnant and had it removed in January 2008. She didn't have any of the side effects I've experienced. I think I personally may have had either a low tolerance to the hormone or more likely a bad reaction to my periods slowly diminishing because gradually they got shorter and lighter and as they did my symptoms got worse.
There's a chance it may be great for you. I would just listen to your body.

I have been on Mirena since May 2007 and at first it was a bit uncomfortable, but I am now LOVING IT! I was a bit worried about the bloating but that went away. I was already diagnosed with PCOD before hand and already having hormone issues. The pregnancy I had just went through was a total shock to me and I wanted to make sure there were no more "suprises" to add to my already full family of 3 girls! If all else fails and you are looking for long term birth control you could always try Implanon. I am a nurse and have heard MANY good things from patients about this one. I originally was supposed to get this one, but for insurance reasons settled for Mirena. GOOD LUCK to you on the Mirena! I hope that all goes well. Give it some time and in the mean time, Midol helps!
