Love It!!!!!
Posted over a year ago
I have had my mirena for 2 years and if you can hang with it for the 1st year you will be set. The first year is real crazy heavy bleeding bad cramps, but believe once that year is up the next 4 years will be wonderful. All I can say is NO BLEEDING yeah!!!!!
Sherilyn1968 - Wll glad to hear it for YOU. I loved it as well, until I lost my hair that is. Im sure in some people it does nothing, and I hope your the one. But for me it caused a great deal of heartache, depression and sadness. I am almost completly bald. Thank god a had really thick hair to begin with that I'm able to postion it so it can't be seen. Can't swim or ride with windows open because it WILL be seen. Oh and haven sex the ol dogie way? Um yeah thats out to.
Good luck
Audrey1284 - I am having minimal side effects and also love it. The symptoms I do get are better than the alternative: take a pill daily to have a period for a WEEK.
Valerie T - No contraceptive is a fit for everybody. (On the other hand, thank goodness we don't have to have 9 babies on average like our hunter-gatherer ancestors!) Some bodies seem not to tolerate any synthetic hormone. (A copper IUD is the most effective reversible contraceptive available if that is the case.) Other women have a uterus that is too small for either of the IUDs currently available in the U.S. and so they get persistent cramps. (Google "frameless IUD's" or Implanon if that is the case.) If you love your Mirena there's good news -- research shows that they are effective for at least 7 years, so no need to get it out after five!
