birth control
"I got the Mirena after I had my second ( and last) child.  I'd had problems with the pill, like blood clots.  I had the insertion in 10-14-2007. It was a bit painful, but not unbearable.  My period became lighter and non existent.  So when the 5 years was up, I got another one.  Same thing except for the bleeding, I now get a lot of the other symptoms.  I am now 44 and if I still need one in 2017, I will get a new one."
