An update on my Mirena experience
| Mon, 05-03-2004 - 3:37pm |
I just wanted to post an update for anyone looking for info on the Mirena IUD. I decided to go with an IUD after my 2nd child and debated the copperT or Mirena. It was a difficult decision because I already had heavy periods and I didn't want to make it worse with the copperT. On the other hand, hormones in BCPs give me headaches and I was worried even the low dose of hormones in Mirena might do the same. I finally decided on the Mirena since there was such a small dose of hormones.
The visit to have it inserted was no big deal. It just felt like a slightly aggreessive pap smear. For the first couple of months I had spotting every day and then a regular period. It's now 6 months later & I'm pretty much back to normal. My periods are lighter than before, but I do have a few days of spotting right berfore they start. I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Thanks for the report Jenn - glad to hear your insertion was relatively pain-free!
