mirena

edited September 2012 in Postpartum Health
I am leaning towards Mirena for birth control after baby ... I need to know you alls experience with it...my only concern is it falling out and the string getting pulled if I were to have sex ...and if you all had any side effects from it

Comments

  • I did have some bad side effects from it...hair loss (in clumps) Zero libido (and im usually a sex goddess lol) and it dropped my milk supply signifcantly... Mine came out, i was having really bad cramping so i went to check my strings and
  • (cont) it literally just came out!!! Maybe my hubs knocked it loose but that shouldnt happen! Lol.... Also ive heard it can be very difficult to concieve afterwards... The only plus was no periods! Ive had the paraguard copper t and it was awesome, never had an issue with it except i still got periods! Hope this helps!
  • Thank you !!!! I'm not trying to have any kids after this one so that's a plus lol
  • Well I gained weight. And mine pretty much fell out on its own. Think I got pregnant actually cuz when I took it out I bled non stop and veryyyyy painful. Then took a year to get preggo leading to a mc.
  • Ugh idk what to do know I don't wanna do the pills and im not too sure about implanon
  • I have had it 10 months with no issues and only 1 period. I love it
  • My sister in laws broke from rough sex. And my ex knocked his gfs out during rough sex. So if you get it, be careful with your sex.
  • I have it and I love it! Had regular periods with it for a few months and then went down to spotting every few months and now i only spot like every 3 months for a few days. No cramping for me and no issues with it coming out.

    **** ALSO when my doc put it in she used numbing cream on my cervex didn't feel a thing! (not sure if any of you ladies that had it thought it was painful being put in)
  • See now I'm in the middle WHAT AM I GONNA DO !!!???? Lol
  • I had it in '08 after I had a miscarriage and I hated it I bleed the whole 3 1/2 months I had it in and cramped really bad and it hurt to have sex never again its not for me

  • There was a girl on here who had it float up by her rib cage and had to have surgery to get it removed. I had paraguard loved it till I got preggers had 2 miscarriages and now a 5 month old baby girl.

  • It's just like any contraception... gotta try it to know how your body will respond
  • Love mine! Only problem is my hair falling out but the pros override that. My period is almost nonexistent, no need to remember it which was my problem with birth control, its good for 5 years, plus my sex drive hasn't changed and a little tmi Hubby and I have pretty rough sex and its still nicely intact. You never really know until you try it yourself any birth control will be have different effects on different people.
