http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22419 I had my mirena inserted back in May 2007. The insertion was the most painful experience of my life. The Dr. could not get in on the first 3 tries! She said, "well, one more try," and got it in. I almost passed out from the pain.

It isnt any better from what Ive read on here. Acne, abd pain, heavy discharge, irregular periods, bloating, and painful intercourse. It sounds like all Im missing are the hormone changes. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/22419?item=1003
