Although it did work, it caused continuous BV and then continuous UTI's. I had it removed and I went right into polycystic overies...which is a side effect of this IUD.

insertion/removal was incredibly painful-do not recommend

I have the Mirena right now. I have had it for a little over 3 years. At first it seemed to help with the pain, but now my endo seems to be getting work. No side effects.

I had a Mirena placed in December 2012 to help control the excessive bleeding and it shortened my PMS by a couple days but the symptoms are just as intense maybe worse.

Got Mirena implant in 2010. Stopped bleeding for the most part, but still cramping at least 3 weeks/month.

I was told by my dr/surgeon that Mirena does not have enough hormones in it (because it is in a centralized location) to help in that sense; the only way it can help is by reducing peroids. So far, I have almost no peroids but my body still goes through the motions of having a period, therefore causing pain.

It helped with pain and it halted my periods but my bodies hormone level is really high and the Mirena raised it higher and I felt like I was loony.

It IS working but bleeding is riding a rollercoaster cramps are enough to put me on the floor into a ball for several hours wake up early every morning to very sharp abdominal pain back pains are enough to make me cry considering getting it removed and its only been 2 months thought it would subside but its no where near.
Somewhat Helpful
At the beginning, I had my period for about 4 months, heavy cramps (like nothing Ive ever felt before) period and pain stopped for about two months, and now I am right back to where I started
