Too good to be true!

I had the Mirena IUD inserted and it was good for the first couple of years. It made my periods go away (didn’t have a period for 4 years) which I thought was kind of odd, but it’s apparently normal. The last 2 years I had it in, it was giving me complications. I would get stabbing pains randomly and it was painful sometimes. I went to a doctor and he tried telling my that it was fine, but I knew something was wrong. When I got it removed, the doctor was having difficulties taking it out and told me it must have gotten stuck!!! He also told me that it’s okay to leave the IUD in a year after it’s recommended expiry! Absolutely terrifying, I would never get the Mirena IUD again when there are other forms of effective birth control.
