birth control
"I am 25, and have an 8 year old son. I've had my Mirena for 5 years this month, and have an appointment to have it removed and replaced in 2 weeks. I've been very happy with it so far. I decided to get the Mirena when my doctor informed me that I had osteoarthritis due to the Depo shot I had been taking for 3 years. When I had it placed it was painful at first, but it only lasted for about 12 hours. My periods came back but are very light to nonexistent. I'm extremely thankful that the Mirena doesn't have the side effects that are associated with other forms of birth control. I have absolutely no complaints with it. I love it, and cannot wait to have the new one inserted. I would recommend to everyone!"
