R.N.
L. I have Mirena and I love it. I have had it for 3 years now with no problems. I always forget its there and you don't have to worry about it for 5 years. I barley have periods which is a GREAT thing! It does hurt a little when it gets put in but the best way to describe the feeling is it feels like bad period cramps. The only thing I could say I don't like about it is that my husband can feel it scraping him a little bit when we have sex but he said its not bad. There may be some people though that do not have that problem. All in all you might want to give it a try. All birth control pills and IUD's always have a risk of blood clots and other things but they are very low. Good luck on your decision!!
