Thoughts on Mirena IUD??

Jillian
Hey everyone!! Sorry, this us going to be a little lengthy...Do any of y'all have the Mirena IUD? If so, do you like it? What side effects did you have? How did affect your periods? Did Medicaid cover it, if you have that? Anything else I should know? If you don't have Mirena, but have another IUD, which one do you have and how do you like it? I'm looking for a long term birth control as my boyfriend leaves for the military and we are wanting to wait to have another baby until we are more financially stable and can plan it out. That and we've had one too many scares the past year. (Before I get the whole 'should've used condoms' bit, we did, but our daughter was conceived even though condoms were being used) Anyway, sorry this is long, just wanting opinions!! Thanks in advance!
