Mirena has helped my sex drive, I know women are different, but I seem to just get turned on for no apparent reason since about 2 weeks into the Mirena. My cramping is different than without the Mirena but definitely manageable. My periods lasted 10 days before the Mirena, with the first 5 days being extremely heavy and after having 1 period with the Mirena, I've noticed positive changes. My period was still 10 days but it was much more even, and I only used Light flow tampons the WHOLE period. My breasts were barely an A cup before Mirena, and i had significant swelling and tenderness before my period, and after my period the swelling went down almost all the way and the tenderness was gone, but I've got a definite A cup now, plus this month's swelling is closer to a B cup. I'm hoping each month's swelling will bring me back to my before having children B cup. I'm doing great with the Mirena. I'm sorry to see so many who it isn't working for.

I am glad that you are feeling ok so far. I would warn to listen to your body. If you feel yourself starting to change in any way, don't put it off as normal. The side effects come on so gradually that it is hard to link it all together until there are too many problems to ignore. Just listen to your body, and not your doctor. They do not think that it can cause any problems. Which seems ludicrous to me. Anyways, Good luck.
