So how effective is the mirnea IUD? Any studies or links out there that anyone can paste to me. Me and my gf are having sex on a regular basis and i go all the way so to say. I read her book and it says it's 99% effective. Someone also told me it's almost effective as having your tubes tied is that true also?

you might want to check out the mirena website.Maybe the info there could ease your minds.I've used it for over a year as my only form of birth control and haven't had any problems.

Hi newradical2004, welcome back!

Look at these links to Planned Parenthood: Contraceptive Choices http://www.plannedparenthood.org/bc/cchoices.html and, a comparison of method effectiveness http://www.plannedparenthood.org/bc/bcfacts2.html Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,
