I had a terrible experience with Mirena. It did work as far as not letting me get pregnant, my cramping was minimal, My periods were light or non-existent most months, and the spotting only lasted a few weeks after insertion. The problem for me was that I ended up with large inner uterine cysts and terrible scarring because of it. I'd never had any problems with cysts until I had it and holy hell do those suckers hurt if they rupture.
I have Implanon now and LOVE it. If it's possible to go the arm implant route DO IT. Plus, the incision site is numbed super well and hurt less than getting a filling.
