I had the Mirena put in July 08' and have been miserable ever since...I have had nonstop cramping, headaches, leg pain, and now a regular fever.. I was told by my Dr. that the Mirena was a great form of birth control, and that after at least 2 days after insertion, you would forget you even had it in..I begg to differ with her on that...Everyday and night im reminded of this device with the horrible days, and long sleepless painful nights.. I will be going to have this removed, and if my doctor refuses to do so, I will do to the nearest ER and have it removed...I don't recommend this device to any women out there, its made me unbearable to live with and bed ridden..to all the ladies out there, please do research on this product, and don't go through these nasty side effects......
