I am 22 years old and I got the Mirena April of 2008. I got it put in because I have a blood clotting disorder and this was the only option of birth control that was safe. I don't have any kids. When I first got it put in it was the most horrible pain I have EVER experienced in my life. I bled for a couple months on and off but it was just spotting. I still have my period but its way lighter! I LOVE THE MIRENA! Ive had some side effects but not to the extreme you ladies are saying. I was on the pill for 4 years and I have the same side effects as i did on the pill.. The only thing that I dislike about the mirena is the bad ODOR! I don't like it. I feel like I can always smell myself and Its embarrassing! I use summers eve and clean myself out probably more then I should, but I cant help it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have it out! Seriously...how do you know that the smell isn't caused by an infection? You certainly have some odd bacteria there to make you smell.

When I had mine out I had the smell & my dr said it wasn't normal!
