Positive Mirena stories please

in August 2012 Moms
So now that DS is almost 15 months and DD is 6, I can positively say we are DONE. I wanted DH to get snipped, but with the way he handles a cold......so then I researched tubal ligation. I wasn't ready for surgery. I took the pill for 12 years with no issues, but after DS was born I swear the pill was putting me over the edge the week before every period and with two kiddos and working, I could never remember to take it! . (Though in hindsight it could be the extra child..lol) so I took myself off and felt better. We tried condoms but it kinda killed the mood it took me long enough to be in. So three days ago I went with Mirena after talking to my doctor. The procedure was over in 8 minutes and I've had barely any cramping. So far so good. When I searched the boards on here for it, many posts were negative. Anyone successfully using it? Or have used it? Thanks!

    People tend to be vocal with their complaints and quiet with their satisfaction. I've had Mirena for almost a year now and haven't had a single problem. I've been on almost every form of birth control out there, and this is the least problematic method I've ever used.

    I've had it since Feb if I remember correctly.  I hated it at first.  I even considered having it taken out.  I was so over the bleeding.  My doctor told me to give it at least 6 months and if I still didn't like it then talk to her again about removing it.  She was right.  I barely ever have bleeding and I love how I don't have to think about it.

    Thanks ladies! I think it's like hotel reviews. If you like it you just go back, if you have a bad experience you post it everywhere!

    I've had it a little over a year & have no problems with it either!  Also, as far as success rates go, an IUD is actually MORE effective than a tubal.  It's basically the most effective thing you can do besides not have sex.

    I have mirena, and it's pretty good so far. I have a non-existent sex drive, I think I can blame it on the mirena and breastfeeding.

    2nd time with Mirena and LOVE it! I haven't ever had any problems. Your typical 3-6 weeks of spotting and nothing since then.

    Yay! Thanks everyone. I've had it in for 5 days so far and barely any spotting. Feels like the regular end of my period. No issues but a little gun shy on the actual sex part still. Lol
