"i had the mirena iud for 2 years and i loved it! 

yes getting in was a tad painful, had cramping the rest of the day to where i just wanted a hot pad and to lay down, but after that i was happy that it was in, never had to remember to take a pill. i did feel like it uped my sex drive, my husband never felt the strings at all. i&#039;m not sure if this was part of it but i felt like i lost weight easily, my periods were sometimes non existant and when i did have them they were never heavy at all, a pantilinier was all i needed and my period seamed to last a couple days vs 5 days to a full week. cramping when it did appear was a little painful at times but nothing a hot pad couldnt fix. after having a baby im going for it again!"
