"i have had mirena since february 2005. in february 2010 i had it removed and had another put in. i am very pleased with mirena, i have had horrible periods since i was 11 and no other birth control has given me the results that mirena has. i no longer get a period, heck i don&#039;t even get the symptoms. it has been a wonderful experience for me. i am now ready to have another baby since my son is now 6 and i&#039;m not getting any younger.
