Birth Control
"I have had the Mirena since October 2008, 8 weeks after giving birth to my son.  The insertion was not painful at all.  I did experience a lot of hair loss and over time, my sex drive diminished.  I had light bleeding afterwards, but have only had maybe 2 cycles since insertion that may have lasted 2 days each.  I&#039;m getting ready to have my Mirena removed for 2 reasons. One to get back to normal because I have been very moody and depressed since I&#039;ve had it.  Two, my husband and I plan on having another baby within the next two years.  I enjoy not having to keep up with taking pills (which all make me sick) and having to used condoms with my husband, but this just isn&#039;t for me.  After the next baby, I will be getting my tubes tied!"
