Hi wellesly, welcome!

I regularly post on a different board and dropped in to see if anyone else uses mirena. I've had it since 2003, it's good for five years, I could be wrong on that one though. For the most part, it's been working well for me. I used to have painful periods, now I have no periods at all. I believe it caused a little bit of weight gain for me. Other than that, I don't have to remember to take the pill, no pain of periods. I've been overly emotional and I still don't know if it's caused by the hormones that are released by mirena or something else. I would still highly recommend it.
Hi there!
I have the Mirena IUD and I love it! I'm 26 years old and have never had children. I got married just over a year ago. I found out I have a genetic disorder that makes me more prone to blood clots, so my doctor recommended that I get off the pill (because of the estrogen) and try the Mirena.
There are a few things I love about the Mirena:
What I don't like:
If you scroll down the outline, there is tons of info on various links on this board also. I spent some time last night doing lots of research here and on the manufacturer's website (not much info there) and got a lot of "real" world advice here.

I had the Mirena for 3 1/2 years.
I have had Mirena since April of 2004, and in the last year, have lost 40 lbs. I just don't want to make it seem like there is nothing good about it. I'm going to be sad giving up the no period thing, but hopefully, within 2 months I will be pregnant. WOOHOO!
