Well reading all of this is very scary to me. I'm 23 years old and have never had a kid and have never been on any birth control before. I thought it would be a wise decision for it since i'm starting to get serious with my boyfriend and we have sex, but he never ejaculates in me...mostly because he cannot ejaculate from sexual intercourse the only way is thru oral or a hand job (sorry for the TMI lol). I have an appointment on July 1, 2009 to get the Mirena in place. My OBGYN doc told me Mirena was the best thing for me because I am on high blood pressure medication. I've always kind of had my doubts about this type of birth control and she didn't really explain the side effects that much, she just gave me the little pamphlet about it which of course makes it sound like the best thing ever. I am going to another place to have it put in because I have no health insurance and they do it for free. Well...I had to have a consultation with that doc and she did explain the cramping and it may hurt when it's put in, and the spotting but that's it. I almost kind of felt like I was pressured into it. After about 10 minutes the doc was like ok lets get you set up. I'm having very very serious thoughts about calling and canceling this appointment. I like who I am now and I think I would rather risk it and use a condom than ruin my life. Thanks for the help everyone.

There are other options besides Mirena or pills. SInce you are young, you may not experience the side effects many of us have. Why not go to your local Planned Parenthood and discuss other options with them.

If you really what an IUD, ask about the Paraguard Cooper IUD... It has NO hormones and last for up to 10yrs..... I had that one and it was almost problem free..... I had to have mines removed because it was not inserted high enough so it shifted causing my periods to be long/heavy and extreme cramps.....and I had bleeding/ cramping with intercourse.....

If high blood pressure is an issue for you than get a second/third option about mirena because from reading some of the post here, some of the ladies developed high blood pressure after it was inserted....

please keep doing your research....the choice is yours and you are doing the right thing by questioning its possible effects on your body.... Best of luck to you.... Peace be with You....
