birth control
"I am on my 3rd Mirena. I had one in my late 20's before I had children and have had one after each of my kids were born.  The first insertion was the most painful but was managed well with Ibuprofen.  When I had it removed the Dr. told me to wait one full cycle before trying to get pregnant.  I was pregnant the first month we tried.  After my son was born I had a new Mirena and had it removed after a year and became pregnant with my daughter the first month after my full cycle.  The pain of insertion is worth it, I have no periods, no headaches, no moodiness and my husband doesn't seem to notice it is even there!  I highly recommend Mirena!"
