Birth Control
"I just had my first baby in November. I knew I wanted to wait at least 3 years for the next. I was on the patch before and loved it but I didn&#039;t like having to remember to switch it. My Dr recommended Mirena. 10 weeks after my son was born I had it put in. I actually didn&#039;t feel anything. Didn&#039;t hurt and no cramping. I have had it in for about a month now. I have spotting on and off but not a big deal. No cramping. No weight gain. Sex drive unaffected. I love not having to worry about it. For those complaining about insertion if you haven&#039;t had a kid try Skyla instead. It&#039;s smaller and you should have less insertion pain. For those who just had a kid get it in as soon as you can while your cervix is still &quot;loose&quot; don&#039;t wait."
