Mirena: Saving my life one day at a time

I've had an IUD for almost eight years. I've never had a single problem with mine. Additionally, IUDs are proven as a first class preventative measure to getting endometriosis, which is a living hell for a lot of women because it can take a long time to get diagnosed and treated. Even then it's still a lifelong condition that increases the chances of several cancers. I was diagnosed with endo in my twenties. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I wish I would have gotten off of the pill and had an IUD sooner.
