"i definitely recommend the mirena as an option for birth control. i decided to get it my senior year in high school because i have goals to achieve and i did not want any babies stopping that. i started off with pills but i realized my lifestyle did not fit that. if you do not want to worry about taking a pill on time everyday, and worry about the possibilities of you becoming pregnant, get the mirena. it didn&#039;t hurt much and now all i&#039;m doing is spotting. take this from a teenager, it does work."
