I had one during my early/mid 20's. I kept it in for 3 years, which I think was the time limit, and then had it removed. The main side effect was that my periods stopped.

My first was great but my second was a nightmare! Sore breasts, nausea, constant spotting and erratic periods.

I have honestly not heard very many good things about it (I work in OB/GYN). It's certainly not dangerous, and it's efficacy is impressive, but the side effects- constant spotting in particular- are a pain to deal with. Keep in mind everyone has a different response to hormones so it might work wonders for some people! Obviously I wouldn't hear about the good ones.. only the frustrated people coming in to have theirs removed. Doesn't seem like a terribly popular device in our area, I think we've only inserted 1 in my 3 years of working there.
