There's a community called iud_divas which I recommend, it can give you a lot of info.
I had terrible experiences with my IUD's, but not every woman does. aechei who is the maintainer of IUD divas has a mirena, has done for years and has no problems with it.
IUD's are the most popular form of birth control worldwide, and the mirena is the most effective (lowest failure rate) contraceptive available according to the W.H.O. If your body can't tolerate hormones, the Paragard is an excellent choice. It's very effective, but can make your menstrual flow heavier and your periods more painful. For most women this stops after 3 months, but for some it doesn't.
