Birth Control
"I&#039;m a big fan of IUDs. I had two Paragards after having my last child at age 29. When I started to have heavy bleeding I opted for the Mirena to help control that and to avoid an ablation. It&#039;s been great for controlling bleeding and my periods are few and far between. I am going to be 50 next year and my estrogen levels are still pretty good - meaning I am still a fertile myrtle. So, for now, the Mirena has been a great thing for me. There have been no mood swings, no heavy bleeding, no weight gain and no other noticeable side effects."
