OMG MIRENA!
Ok, so this is probably what I get for not doing more research BEFORE getting the Mirena. But I'm having some problems with it right now, so I go to their official webpage....and this is what I find!!!
"Mirena is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. While there's no single explanation for how Mirena may work, most likely it prevents pregnancy in several ways.
Mirena may:
Thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering your uterus
Inhibit sperm from reaching or fertilizing your egg
Make the lining of your uterus thin
Mirena may stop the release of your egg from your ovary, but this is not the way it works in most cases. Most likely, these actions work together to prevent pregnancy. Like other forms of birth control, Mirena is not 100% effective."
They don't even know how it works!!! Seriously? Stick this thing up your hoo haw and we're not exactly sure what it does...but you probably won't get pregnant, oh and btw if you do....it could kill you and the baby. Ummmm....wth was I thinking!! Ugh. I don't know what to do. I want to get the damn thing taken out! TMI but it's making things a bit...uncomfortable down there, but I don't have many other birthcontrol options! I kept forgetting the pill and was liable to get pregnant sooner rather than later which is why we got the mirena in the first place. Ugh. I'm stuck. And to top it all off while I was looking for answers for the one problem I come accross tons of other stories of other symptoms I've been experiencing that I chalked up to getting older and/or being a mom that others have had while using it and went away after they got it out!
