Wow, this site has been very informative. I have had the mirena since May of 2007. I haven't experienced any of the bad cramping, except the first couple of days after insertion, nor have I experienced hair loss or bad acne. My one complaint is that I have never had a yeast infection before having the mirena. I have probably had 4 or 5 within the last 6 months. I thought it was just my body, but after reading this I am considering having mine removed. In the last few months, I experienced vaginal itching and burning. I have used over the counter medications, which relieves the effects and gets rid of the infection, but it seems like after my partner and I have intercourse it comes right back. My last pap was 5 months ago and everything was fine. I know it's no STD and my partner and I are monogamous. The yeast infections are driving me crazy and I'm relieved to know that it's not just me.
