"i absolutely love the mirena.  afer getting with my lifepartner 8 years ago i opted for the mirena because he had custody of his two daughters and i had custody of my 2 sons.  it has worked great, no periods (unless months up to it being switched), comfortable, and keeps my hormones where they need to be, constant due to my bipolar.  i am up for my 3rd round in august and wish i could just do it now.  i still use it even though my life partner is cut... just in case!  we have enough.  lol  give it a try.  i love it!"
