I have had Mirena since may 2008 and I hate it! I have two children and dont want anymore, but because i am young i was urged not to get a tubal ligation. I really wish that i hadn't let myself get bullied into something that i really did not want. As with many of the other women on this page, i have experienced a lot of cramping and i bled like a stuck pig for the first month that i had the mirena. I have frequent headaches and nausea and acne like u wouldn't believe. and it's in the strangest places like behind my ears! my complexion has always been one of my better attributes, so i was kind of ticked when i started breaking out so badly! I was really excited about not having to worry about birth control for a while, but now i'm left wondering if it was really worth it! I was also diagnosed with an ovarian cyst in June, which has not yet corrected itself and may require me to have surgery to have it removed.
