Mirena IUD?

Question

I don't really want this as my choice of birth control but it seems to be the most effective. I just need some opinions from women who have had it

Answer

I had a Mirena for a couple of years, definitely one of the best forms of contraception I've tried
Plus points are: I usually have heavy, painful periods but with the Mirena I had only a light period every 3 months or so (my sister is on her 2nd Mirena now and she only gets a period every 6 months!!)
Once in the Mirena is no hassle at all, you don't have to do anything at all regarding contraception for 5 years!

The downsides for me were: it was extremely uncomfortable to have put in (Didn't feel a thing when it came out though!)
Also I suddenly started getting lots of spots on my face which ended up being one of the reasons I had it out (main reason was I no longer needed contraception due to a breakup). It might sound minor but the spots really lowered my self-confidence and got down.

Since having it out the spots have decreased, but... I am back to really painful, heavy periods every 24 days again! Looking back I think I would actually prefer to have kept it in and kept covering the spots up, painful periods really are hell! I would seriously consider having another Mirena put in if I needed contraception again.
Hope that helps

Answer

I have a consultation to get an IUD this month and the only downfall I've heard for the mirena is the discomfort of getting it in. So glad to see these reviews!

Answer

I have one and love it! I'm getting mine removed at the end of the month (5 years are up and ready to ttc) but it's been wonderful!

Answer

I had to for five years each. Back to back and my third one for ten months only. We are now just starting to conceive. Never had Any problems. I was 16 when I got pregnant with my daughter. I'm now 27 and we are barely trying for #2. I would definitively recommend them. Mirena or para guard. I've tried both and they worked the same for me.
