IUD -- What did it do to your period?
| Sat, 10-09-2004 - 4:07pm |
Baby #2 is 3 days old and I'm already starting to think about birth control. I really don't want anything hormonal but am considering the Mirena IUD anyway.
I'm just wondering how getting an IUD affected your period...did it make it heavier, lighter, non-existent?
I'd love to hear IUD experiences...

Mirena has only progesterone in it, no estrogen, and the amount of hormones in Mirena is very low. They are released directly into the uterus so very little of gets into your bloodstream. I had serious problems with side effects on birth control pills, but no problems with Mirena at all.
I hope that with over time it will get a bit ligher, but I am not sure if it will stop all together because I don't have any hormones in me like the Mirena does.
But I am really happy with my IUD!
