Birth Control
"I have had my Mirena IUD for 2 years now. The insertion was something I was not prepared for. I wish I had been sedated. Heavy cramping and bleeding that entire night and next day. I am a RN so I wish I&#039;d have been forewarned because I had to work the same day I had it inserted. Word of advice take the day off, rent a movie, and vegetate on the couch. I had to have an ultrasound because the strings vanished into thin air. But other then that no issues. I love it. I no longer have the crazy mood swings that I had with the birth control pills. I have no children. No weight gain I can associate from the IUD. I will occasionally have periods of spotting. No side effects. Worth it."
