Birth Control
"I am 25, and have an 8 year old son. I&#039;ve had my Mirena for 5 years this month, and have an appointment to have it removed and replaced in 2 weeks. I&#039;ve been very happy with it so far. I decided to get the Mirena when my doctor informed me that I had osteoarthritis due to the Depo shot I had been taking for 3 years. When I had it placed it was painful at first, but it only lasted for about 12 hours. My periods came back but are very light to nonexistent. I&#039;m extremely thankful that the Mirena doesn&#039;t have the side effects that are associated with other forms of birth control. I have absolutely no complaints with it. I love it, and cannot wait to have the new one inserted. I would recommend to everyone!"
