Add me to the list of people who have Mirena and love it! I decided to go with it after trying several BCPs and not finding one that didn't cause side effects. Plus, I like knowing that it is always there and I don't have to remember to take it. The insertion was painful but the pain was gone in ~1 minute. I felt kind of light-headed for about an hour or so (my doc warned me that this is normal and to be expected). For a while I had lots of spotting and my first period I had really severe cramping...but after that no problems. I would definitely look into it. I have also heard good things about implanon but our health center does not do those.
