I hated every minute of it. I felt like I had absolutely no control over my body anymore. I know that some women have it and it's brilliant for them, but it's not all tea and roses for everyone who has it. I had mine put in under a GA and had it removed under a GA 6 months later because it was giving me so much trouble. I had constant pain and bleeding, massive bloating issues (I would look 4-5 months pregnant), ZERO libido, I was moody and rude and sometimes even downright nasty to DH. And I couldn't control any of it. I was not myself. I had it removed because of all those things, but when I went back to the gyno to have it removed, it had moved completely into my uterus and was pushing against the wall of my uterus. I should never have been given it in hindsight - it was not an appropriate device for a woman in my situation who had multiple pregnancies and a slightly enlarged uterus because of it. My Gyno told me that my uterus was 'stretched' but did not say how this could effect the positioning of the mirena. So that is something to consider too. I don't know if there are any other options out there for your situation and it may be worth a shot and work just fine for you, but I would be looking at all other options first - including why your bleed is so heavy, such as fibroids etc.If you have fibroids then a mirena isn't ideal as the fibroids distort the shape of the uterus and fibroids are a contraindication for mirena.
