Shaw, I was told that the hormones in the IUD are local only, they don't go into your bloodstream. But I've also heard you're not supposed to get one with a history of endometriosis, so I don't know.
And yes, my cramps are gone--but more importantly the rampant sobbing for no reason is gone--and I haven't had a real period since getting it, but I have had pretty regular spotting. They say that should taper off in awhile.
