I'm on Mirena too and absolutely love it. I had it put in in October.
You can have it though if you haven't had kids, it's just painful. I researched it alot before I had it put in and talked to my doctor and basically the pain varies from person to person. Some people say it's the worst pain they've ever experienced. It was pretty bad for me, though not THAT bad. And I was expecting a ripping tearing kind of pain but it was more like intense cramping. Plus if you're doctor gives you meds to help soften your cervix that helps alot.
Tried to have it put in and screamed bloody murder, I wasn't given any meds. They actually put in my chart patient screamed LOL. Would love to have it put in but maybe after kids.0 -
Minera is great....after a while. I had mine about 4 months after having my son. Insertion was only slightly uncomfortable but my Dr. was super quick. I was a bad patient too because I was TERRIFIED even though I have a high pain tolerance. I had taken meds to dilate the cervix and high dose inbufrofen by prescrition prior. My two minor issues were very painfull cramping for a few days and at lease a month of spotting....now everything is fine but not sure about the cycle effect because I'm still breastfeeding. I honestly am not looking forward to the 5 year mark.0

I'm on the nuvaring and I love it! I used to be on the pill, but now I'd never go back. You get the same freedom of mind as the shot, except rather going every three months for an injection, you just take the ring out and put a new one in once a month. You don't have to worry about anything on a daily basis. Plus, it's more effective than the pill because the hormones are delivered consistantly. The only thing that could harm effectivness is antinbiotics, but that's the same with any method you can use.
If you have questions about the ring, just ask. I'd recommend that before the shot, pill, or anything else!

I actually have an IUD (which i recommend and you dont need to have kids first because i dont) but i am also on seasonal which you may get your period four times a year. I'm on it for acne, but I dont have any side effects.0

I did seasonale/seasonique. No side effects. No weight gain. Only 4 periods a year. Loved it!
You're very pretty, by the way!0 -

I too have Mirena. I went during my lunch hour from work to have it done. Once inserted I had some intense cramping that lasted a few minutes, but the doctor stayed with me until they went away I felt better. I then went right back to work with no problems- maybe a little more cramping, but nothing very bad. I still have a period though, although it is more "spotting" than than anything else, and only lasts a day or two. My 5 years is coming up in May and I am wondering if I should have another one inserted, or try something else?0 -
Is different for every woman, what method works for one may not work for another, they all have side effects. I was on depo injection for years, With my schedule I knew I would forget the pill, it was great because I didn't have to worry about it for 3 months , & yes no "monthly visitor" for months ,while it worked... hormone intake was making me gain weight, I switched doctors & the doctor recommended the IUD, with exercise & diet I dropped 20 lbs on my own, & with a lot less trouble than when I was with depo, I'm not saying go out & try every method but talk to your doctor & see what birth control can work for you with less side effects as possible

i'm on the progesterone only pill0

Ortho Tri-Cyclen pill. Have been on it for years...haven’t noticed weight gain form just that though.
Although I did gain weight throughout the years...that’s mainly because I ate anything and everything.
Good Luck! There are so many options out there now0 -
Hi, I had my husband "fixed"... the best birth control EVER!! lol No side effects at all!!!0

This is quite an interesting topic! I have been on Yasmin for years and don't recall putting on any weight when I first began taking it.
I wish they had a generic for Yasmin here in Australia (as a few of you seem to take - I'm assuming in the US?) as it's one of the most expensive pills, due to the lack of side affects I believe.0 -
