Questions about Mirena
| Fri, 06-11-2004 - 8:35pm |
After being on Alesse for three months and having turned into a bit of a monster on it (horrible, several-times-a-day shift in mood) and also discovering that those headaches I've been getting every day are actually migraine activity back to haunt me, I've decided to try something else. The doctors have told me that, unfortunately, it's very likely I will have the same mood disturbances and migraine problems on anything that pumps hormones into my body, so I'm pretty much stuck with the IUD.
What they're suggesting is Mirena, which does contain some hormone, but it's so localized that it doesn't actually get into the blood stream apparently?
Basically, I have some hesitation about doing this so I'd like to hear what people have to say about Mirena. One issue in particular that I'm concerned about is the possibility of expelling it. Also, I'd be interested to know if it puts any limitations at all on the...vigorousness with which you can have sex? I just don't want it to be jarred out of place or something.
