[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had mirena for about two years. The hormones didn't bother me at all, probably because it is such a tiny amount and it stays localized whereas pills are systemic so you can have a lot more side effects. I stopped having my period which was great, I did have some cramping when I would have had my period, nothing too severe. Insertion was painful. I would definitely recommend it. Oh and my sex drive stayed the same as far as I could tell, I've always been a couple of times a week kind of person and that didn't change. [/quote]

This was my experience too and I'm now on my 3rd Mirena.

The Paraguard wasn't a good option for me because I already had very heavy periods plus a family history of severe bleeding in the mid-40s leading to hysterectomies. My grandma, mom, aunt, and sister all had to have hysterectomies due to uncontrolled bleeding; my mom nearly died because she waited so long to see her Dr.  I'm now 45 and no problems, and virtually no period because of the Mirena. If I do start bleeding I'll know right away there's a problem.[/quote]
