I haven't given a Mirena update in a while, so here it is.
I've been really pleased with my experience so far. The initials issues disappeared around January-February time frame. I no longer have cramps associated with it, and my periods are light as can be. They are not even a full two days long, with occasional spotting, so I can't really call it a period.
That has honestly been my favorite thing about the Mirena.
As far as side effects go, I haven't gained crazy weight or had my hair fall out, but I do experience occasional cystic acne on my face every month. Slowly it goes away though.
My plan is to keep it in for about 5-6 after we get married because I don't want to get pregnant right away. That will put me at having it in for just over 2 years.
I'm hopeful that once we start trying for a baby, it will be easy, but you never know. I'm also hoping that Zika won't be an issue by then.
Mirena has definitely been a positive for me so far, and I am very glad I decided to get it instead of going back on the pill.
