birth control
"I had the mirena from March of 2010 til March of 2015. I remember thinking about having it removed within the first 6 months. I hated it. After that though, my periods got better and after the first year I had almost no period! It was amazing! Never had to worry about getting pregnant, didn't gain a ton of weight and removal was rather easy. I mean, it felt as though she pulled my belly button out through my vagina, but it only hurt for less than five minutes so not to bad for four years of no periods. I just had another one put in today (September 2015). From March to September I had totally regular periods and it helped me remember how much I hate having a period. Thus, another iud for me!"
