I’ve had it for 6 months and I have my period twice a month and the pain is pretty consistent day to day.

After expelling two Paragards, my doctor recommended Mirena. My body took to it much better overall, and I ended up keeping it for 6 years. I wish I knew my sex drive would decrease, I would get occasional horrible cramps from ovarian cysts, and it would dry me up leaving me susceptible to more yeast infections than usual. I loved the peace of mind and no periods during a time when I was growing my career. I don't think I would use it again, now that I'm married and a baby wouldn't be such a big deal.
