Mirena FTW
No periods for the last two years. Fanfuckingtastic.

I didn't have mood swings (I think...) but I did pretty much haemorrhage every month - I only realised that my periods were far, far too heavy when I began using a Mooncup (fab as well) and had to empty it every hour - in theory it should hold the entire blood loss of five days - not that you would though, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, the mirena has done the trick. Fabulous thing.

that's what I just came off in May
I loved it. I was the first person in Yorkshire to get it, and had it in 13 years.
Think I'll go back to it.

I've got to have mine replaced next year.
There's a 5-year limit on it. I am NOT looking forward to this - although I agree that Mirena is FTW, the pain of having it put in was immense. But the benefits outweigh the 20 mins of excruciating pain, tbh.
