birth control
"I have 2 kids and had Mirena inserted after 2nd child (frustrated with/idea of trying another pill for Birth Control due to nausea/vomiting). My doctor agreed Mirena would be a good choice because I'd tried various pills, Depot (causing me too many problems to name), Lunelle (recalled and no longer available) and The Patch. Insertion was not very painful for me (not hardly as bad as the pain from menstrual cramps that I'd endured for 10 years). I bled moderately for months and considered removing it but didn't. Bleeding has now eased/absent. Approaching 5 years (4 months shy) I've noticed my hair shedding. Almost positive it's due to some hormonal imbalance resulting from approaching expiration of this device. Overall pleased because has more benefits. Trying another one."
