"i had the mirena for 6 years, i loved it. the pros for me were no period at all just a little spotting every now and then, i did not have any pain at all. the only thing i have to say negative about it was that i did gain some weight and i had a very hard time losing weight with it, but i was ok with it. i guess it did not have to worry about getting pregnant it did its job. i just removed it 2 days ago and am just letting my period start up again."
