I've had mine for 3-4 months and aside from the initial discomfort I've been totally happy. I spotted for about a month or so, then had a real period, and now just had another VERY light period.
I'd advise doping up on ibuprofen in advance of the insertion, and plan to take it easy for a day or so afterward. I had horrible cramps afterward for about 24 hours, but my friend Sara had practically nothing. I hope you get an easy time of it. If you're still feeling icky when I get there I'll take good care of you
