Mirena is great! Worked well for me for about 8mo. But unfortunately nothing is full proof there is still a 1 in 1000 chance that you can still get prego w/ the mirena & I am the that lucky 1!..my advice do your homework, talk to your doc & partner..cuz although hubby & I are happy to be having #3 I would have rather waited a little longer..good luck...ps hubby is getting sniped this time
Birth control is so stressful for me to think about. So many choices, pros and cons. And there's still always a chance of pregnancy. So I really don't know yet. But I definitly don't want 30 babies down the line. I'm thinking I'll roll with the pill for awhile. Assuming I can remember to take them.
This is our first and neither of us really want another. No judging please! Lol. I have 7 nieces and nephews already. My hubby is thinking about getting snipped but I'll prolly just go on the pill for a while.
I am getting my tubes tied I live in Utah and I'm 21 and pregnant with my 2nd child and my Dr said he will tie my tubes after my c section so it just varies but if your done I would beg the Dr to do it
Gonna probably get the IUD. No added hormones, so no heavy periods and major weight gain and it can be used while breastfeeding. Plus can get pregnant again as soon as I get it removed and a added bonus is they have controls for 3-10 years.
I got the Mirena after a miscarriage in June of 08 had it for a little over 3 months hurt very bad when they put it in and I bled for the whole time it was on (3 months straight) and had very bad pains (but they said it was prolly because I didn't deliever a full term baby) so idk might try it again not sure tho kinda scared of that pain and bleeding again
I'm not sure? My mother had it done when I was an older teenager. I don't remember that happening to her. I should ask. All she says about it now is that it is one of the most freeing experiences:)
Had a novaT IUD for a year gave up was horrible. Painful heavy bleeding with spotting all the time, painful sex for both of us. Had it checked inside and out and finally removed. Mirena has hormones so I didn't want that while nursing. Tried nuva ring and it is exactly same as pill just not taken daily. Made me crazy and gain weight. Was tracking my cycle when we conceived this time. Not sure what to do, since I got preg twice (one mc, then my daughter) on pill before. Hsbd says snip but think I want a third... will decide when time comes.
I wanted to do mirena untill I found out the side effects. Also my husband is very large in the lower department so it could ve very painful for the both of us.a lot of my friends had it and dont recommend it at all. I used seasonique before I met my husband and I absolutely loved it. I hate takin the pill but it worked sooo good nd I only had a period every so often. I am also considering the patch.
I had mirena and I think its something good but my uterus is not meant for iud's lol I had mine removed after 6 month but my aunt has had it since it came out and loves it. It all depends on you and my husband isn't the smallest down there either and he couldnt feel the strings until I told him how they remove it since he wanted to know. Lol
Breastfeeding does count, only if you do it full -time. I can't believe a doctor would say other wise. You do not ovulate while breastfeeding full time.
