Mirena regret

I’m trying to stay positive but majorly regretting going off the pill and getting mirena in Feb this year. Can anyone tell me if there is light at the end of the tunnel??

8/10 painful insertion (took tramadol, Panadol and nurofen and nothing helped during, but cramps settled very quickly a few hours after. I had to Uber home due to the pain.

After non stop first month of bleeding doc put me BACK on pill for 2 months to try get my body into routine. Mainly just runny brown blood. No other physical side affects what so ever.

Now I have just finished my second period and was bleed- free for 3 days and the brown runny bleeding has started again. It’s lighter this time.

PLUS my BF is irritated by the strings. They poke a lot. It feels like a deal breaker, definitely something to consider. I am constantly thinking about it during but maybe need time to adjust. The strings have softened and curled slightly, but we’re still getting used to it.

This has turned out to be a lot more complicated than first thought, and has a huge toll on my mental health and my relationship.

Praying this works out and the bleeding stops! 🙏
