I am interested in this, because I do not want synthetic hormones coursing through my veins. If I am going to get hormones, I want natural ones to prevent menopause.

IUD's have come a long way since they were first invented. FYI.

*I did it all for the nookie*

I also hurd crazy stories about if you catch an std you will die or get really sick. but in the past year if f**ked the million man march and im still cool, i always where condoms tho!

Ive had my Mirena IUD for almost 2 years & the first year is most definitely the hardest. I had irregular bleeding for the first 6-10 months. it really sucks never knowing when youre gonna flow...or not bleeding for 2 months in a row...very erratic. These days, my period is always on time. The Mirena has made my periods very light(usually 2 tablespoons of blood the first 2 days & then VERY light spotting for the next 3-4 days after)I always also have "old blood" up to 1 week after my period has ended! panty liners are my best friend! I do enjoy not having to buy tampons & huge pads...lol. My biggest complaint with the Mirena is that if you are having sex with a larger guy(thicker OR longer)you may feel some discomfort. I had to have my strings snipped after a few months of having it & it greatly improved my discomfort.

Also, if you have a history of cysts in your family or health, please make sure to do your research and get second opinions!! Doctors these days are almost like salesmen & want their "commission" Do not feel pressured into an IUD from anyone, as it is a long-term commitment of a foreign object inside your body. The Mirena is not for everyone.

I did try all the other forms of B/C, and have never had a kid, so this was my last option at the time.

I have heard it might be hard to get pregnant after it, but we'll see when that time comes.
