i got my mirena put in 06/2009 after my 3rd child. the dr asked if i wanted to tie my tubes, but i'm only 22 so i didn't want to decide my future just then. he recommended the iud. it hurt a little to put it in. then i felt like i was going to faint all day that day. then came the major cramps. then the endless bleeding. my doctor said he could give me some sort of medicine to help with the bleeding, but i just want this damn thing out. let's put it this way... if i wasn't bleeding all the time, i'd think that i was pregnant from all the side effects: nausea, fatigue, endless hunger, weight gain, mood swings. it's RIDICULOUS. i'm taking mine out at my next appointment. i'd rather take the time to put a condom on my boyfriend.
