Hi,
It sounds like you had a very similar experience to mine, in terms of
things that you have tried. My doctor suggested Mirena in January of
2008, when she inserted it she warned me that I could have up to 6
months of pain. I experienced severe cramping for about 2 months, but I
would really encourage you to stick with it if you can because those 2
months have been followed by over a years worth of really reduced pain.
Good luck!
