I have a Mirena, and have had for 4 of its 5 year life. It is awesome. No periods. (some occasional spotting though) That was the seller for me! And, NO SIDE AFFECTS - no bloating, irritablity, etc...
It is a bit expensive - $350 CAD, but it was well worth it. I haven't bought a box of Tampax in 4 years - think of the savings my Dr. said!!
I can't take traditional birth control b/c of too many side affects - water retention, etc. I can't have children naturally without invetro intervention b/c of an ectopic in 2002 that badly damaged my right fallopian tube. I almost lost it. And I was high risk even before that. The Mirena gives me freedom from ucky condoms. (My husband does note that the wire is sharp  ) Luckily for the DH and I, we didn't plan to have children anyways. Next year I will definately get another one!
Best of luck with your decision!!
