"i had mirena put in 3 weeks after the birth of my second child. it&#039;s the best birth control i&#039;ve ever tried! i didn&#039;t feel anything when my dr put it in. i had some light spotting for a month but the bleeding stopped. i&#039;ve had past issues with birth controls such as having dangerously high blood pressure while using the patch and always forgetting to take pills. if you aren&#039;t planning on having children right away after giving birth, mirena is the best choice in my opinion!"
