I hate that you are being discouraged to use this product. I have had it for about four months and haven't had any problems. I had a little cramping today like I was going to get my period and I logged on to get more information. Now I'm nervous that I will start noticing more side effects, even though I may not have them. It has truly been great for me and aside from having to take some Tylenol for some minor cramps tonight, I am very happy with the Mirena.
