Hi everytime I ask this I don't get any replys so please if someone can share a story or something it would be helpful. My gf in on the mirenda IUD ok and had it in now for 2 weeks possibly maybe 1 1/2 she had bad cramping for a few days but it's gone away and she don't even know it's in her. Everytime we have sex she wants me to cum inside her and I have not been doin that. She has low iron and I head that having low iron may affect the way the IUD works. Can anyone please share stories who have been on the mirenda IUD and how effective it is. Just so I can hear stories from other people that way I won't be scared to finish off in her.

No advice on the low iron affection how the Mirena IUD works though - I suggest that your girlfriend call her Dr. and ask if her low iron will affect the way the IUD works at all. I wouldn't think that it does, but I'm not totally sure!
The Mirena IUD is 99.9% effective. That is better than any other form of reverisble birth control out there, and just as good as a vasectomy. There really isn't much to be scared about there.
Modern IUDs are very effective and very safe. The copper IUD has a slightly lower effectiveness rate than Mirena (99.2-4 for copper, compared to 99.9 for Mirena). Your girlfriend has Mirena and she can't get anything more effective than that.
I have a Mirena too and I haven't had any drawbacks at all. I had horrible side effects on birth control pills and now I no longer have those problems. My periods are very light now. It's been wonderful. I especially love knowing it's effective for 5 years and I don't have to even think about it (other than checking the string occasionally).
