Some womens body regects it. Ive had my mirena now 3 years and I absolutly love it. I spotted for the 1st 3 months and that was it been period free ever since
my girl has the copper one now 5 years and she has had no complications with it either
My sister has had Mirena now 2 years and had no complications
My older sister had the paraguard (the cooper) and expelled it within the 1st 2 weeks
I also have a class mate who had it for 4 years and Loved it she planned on getting another one after that one was removed
so it varies from woman to woman

I have the IUD (Mirena). There are two types of IUD copper and mirena. I've been uisng Mirena for about 2 weeks and I love it. After my body has gotten adjusted things have been better. I don't have to worry about taking a pill or taking out the ring or even gaining weight with the shot. All I do is check in my vagina for the strings and I know it's there. I have little cramps (my body is still get adjusted). I am in a long-term committed relationship with my boyfriend of almost 2 years. I have no children. I've asked the nurses who inserted my IUD if many young women, not married but in long-term relationships, with no children have it and they said yes. So for people to tell you it's only for married women or for women with childreb is false. Some more information for IUD is thorugh planned parenthood, sites are below:

All I can tell you is that MY personal experience with an IUD was horrible. It was uncomfortable (every time I had sex it HURT!), my periods were misery, the cramps were terrible and after 5 months, the damned thing perforated my uterus and I had it have it removed because of that and because it helped me get PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease).
You didn't say if you had kids, but it is NOT recommended for women who have not had at least one child or are in monogamous relationships - just FYI's for you. Also, I have an issue with any method of birth control that the doctors REALLY don't have a firm grasp on how it works!
In short, I would not personally recommend an IUD.

I have the one with hormones and so far no issues. Only had it for a month now! Lots of spotting and a longer then normal period.

They do cause problems. I suggest you get more information before you decide.
