Hi all, I'm new to the BC board but not new to BC. I started off on OrthoTriCyclen and it completely turned my world upside down,

I've had the mirena IUD for about 1 year now and love it!!! I can't take regular bc pills because of chronic high blood pressure and I don't like the mini pills....For some women the mirena can "stop" your periods.I haven't had a period since the last week of May and I'm NOT pregnant....From someone who was using a double pack of kotex overnights pads each month to now I use just a few pantiliners I love it!!!! good luck in your search

Hi kas9066, welcome!

If you haven't already read it, you might be interested in the post: "Information about the IUD" in the FAQ folder at the top of the board. I hope you find a method that works well for you. Let us know what you decide. Thanks for posting.

Good luck,

I have paragard IUD and love it. I like that I don't have to think about it and it is very effective. I didn't like the hormones from BCP and decided to try this. I am still in the getting use to it stage (it was put in May), but so far so good.

Good Luck!
