I’m still giving it time since it’s only been a month, but my periods are like clockwork. I’m fine through the night, then between 8am-12pm I get bad lower back pain and heavy cramping and blood clotting/bleeding through clothes sometimes. Then the rest of the day is light periods and like no cramps.

Absolutely loved my Mirena IUDs (I've had 3) compared to the other forms of birth control I've used. I did develop irritable bowel and didn't realize it was because of the IUD until I removed it and it went away (my doctor's also never suspected the IUD so I spent a lot of money and time with specialists only to find out it's a listed side effect in the insert). I've also had a steep decrease in migraines since removing my IUD, but besides the migraines and IBS, it was great!

Side affects can change as time passes. I noticed more side effects the longer I was on it.
