I just wanted to thank all you ladies for posting your experiences and side effects. I had my son 7 weeks ago and at my 6 week check-up the OB was telling me this birth control would be perfect for me with very little side effects. I had a traumatic labor and my body is still under construction, so I don't need anything else doing a number on my body. So glad I found this website, the Mirena pamphlet is going in the trash. I'll just have to take the regular pill.
