I have had mirena for almost a year now, and have had no side effects. When I first had it put in, I bled for a week in a half straight (my doctor said I might) and since then I have had no period and no negative side effects. I am sorry to hear of those who have had bad experiences. But to those who are thinking about it, just remember everyone reacts different to it. I just wanted to post something good since there are so many bad ones up here.
You should read some of the posts above yours, some are saying they sung the praises of mirena when they first had it and now it is the worst thing ever!!! I hope you arent back on here soon saying how bad you feel from it.
