I have been considering the Mirena on the advice of a GYN specialist due to my fibroids (heavy bleeding/clots-hugh). When the doctor describe it, it sounded like something I might consider. But I told him I wanted to do some research on my own and discuss with my husband. I am currently taking the Depo-shot which my insurance doesn't cover - reason for considering Mirena- anyway after reading this blog, I know I am not getting the Mirena, might as well stay with the Depo side effects similar. I think in the end I may opt for the ExAblate procedure. WOW what we women have to endure. But I thank God for this site.
