I love mine. I had it put in last December. I bled for about 4 days then spotted for about 3 weeks. Then i had lighter but longer AF (about 7-9 days instead of 5, but def less blood loss overall) and mid cycle spotting (3-6 days, around O time) for about 6 months, but each month both got shorter and lighter. The last 3 months i've had no mid-cycle spotting and just a light, painless AF for about 4 days. I'm SO glad i stuck it out since i now know after those few months of slight hassle i have 4 worry-free, hassle-free, baby-free years in front of me without having to do anything.
I had one inserted when my youngest was 3 months old, it was quite a painful insertion as my cycle had not yet returned and they needed to dilate me to get it in. At the 6 week check up the string could not be found, an x-ray found the iud near my left hip. They think it must have perforated the uterus on insertion. Needless to say I needed laparoscopy to remove it. I now use condoms as contraception
