I've had mirena iud for a year now and for the first few months I was so tender sitting or standing hurt, but after it was great no pain no pills its awesome! But I do get a good case of the blahs every now and then

I had the morena iud after the birth of my first son, and it really messed with my mood. I was constantly in a "blah" foggy place - I never felt really happy. I had it removed after 10 mos because I didn't feel like "me" anymore.

Otherwise, I couldn't physically feel it, no pain during sex and I only had a couple periods while on it.
