  • @yahooitsme1- I second that... Wonder if she was trying to ask a question about the IUD or just making a general statement about her current relationship? Kinda seemed like she started to ask but took a a sharp turn onto a whole different road. Or maybe she was just bragging? Lol

  • @OoBrookieoO - don't worry bout the hypocritical haters. I think it's great u are being safe and doing your best to avoid adding yet another teen pregnancy to our nation's populous. Ppl who say crap about u being too young are usually the ones who did the exact same thing. They can't honestly believe that age makes a difference? Maturity level is different for everyone and I think that if u are mature enough to seriously consider proper birth control and protection from STDs as well as being ab

  • I'm getting the ParaGard tomorrow at 9am .. I'm so nervous, as I didn't know the procedure and how it worked, but I feel so much more relaxed now. That woman is amazing!

  • I have one of these, Ive Had it for about 2 years now. I am so happy i don't have periods anymore. And they work get!!!! i have the 5 year mirena one. and i love it!!

  • how come i never ever heard of these before? i found out on the daily show ,2011.11.09.

  • my cousin used this after she decided she was done having kids for now. she said she heard positive feedback about IUD, but the doctor didn't insert it correctly and it ended up tearing her causing her to have a surgery.

  • im 20 me and my bf has been using pullout for almost a year now lol.. works if your man is smart enough to control & know himself >.<

  • @JessNAle Lol your going to get pregnant one day. :|

  • i have a question is it possible your girl gets this and one side effect is she has a period for 3 straight months non stop

  • @sportyculvercity Yes that is possible.

  • @KimberzL oh ok thnk you so much... i was kind of starting to think she was cheating on me grrrrrrr lol

  • I'm 15, i love my boyfriend more than anything else in the world, i want to take it to the next level, he is less sure about having sex, therefore he suggested an iud, it looks really painful and expensive but he said as long as i'm safe, he'll pay :') you can probably understand why i'm in love with him,

    i dont want you to judge me because i am who i am and no one can make me change its like judging a book by it's cover but not knowing the story so if you're like 'omg she's 15 and wants to

  • @AMYCAK35 Was there a point to this comment?

  • @morganarabianx i really dont think thats your desicion, its mine. problem solved

  • IUD is very effective for some women, and not for others, as for some is great and safe, but for others, cause heavey bleeding and maybe by time be anemic due to heavey peirod, you should be your own doctor and know how it feels and you can take it out when discomfort..,, but in both cases, far more better than condoms,,

  • O lord jesus in your strength the king rejoices and in your salvatoin how greatly he exults.

  • Thumbs up for a devastating abortion is not cool people!

  • im 16 and i cant take birth control pills because i get an allergic reaction, i tried Tri Cyclin Low, and YAZ, and i get really itchy and rashy about a month into it. so should i try this? does anyone have any advice? thanks

  • @oOBROOKIEOo im 17 and i got a paragard iud. No complaints, i love it!!!

  • @oOBROOKIEOo If you're sixteen you shouldn't be having sex. Problem solved.

  • @oOBROOKIEOo I think you should... The ring is a very good alternative as well.

  • uh ew.

  • FORGET ALL THIS...JUST USE CONDOMS...

  • See and select crazy wife ** busizz4me.info **

  • what about toxic shock syndrome? the last thing you want is more pain.

    use a condom.

  • @revolutiongrl This isn't a tampon...

  • Comment removed

  • Well I have the Paraguard and had it placed 3 years ago, I am now 14 weeks pregnant!

  • If you get the copper one, you can get pregnant pretty much right away after they take it out. The copper is the only thing destroying the eggs and sperm so once it's gone, everything goes back to normal.

  • i've had the paraguard for 2 years. love it! cant even tell its there

  • i've had the iud for 2 years. love it! cant even tell its there

  • I work in an OB GYN office, I frown upon DEPO Big time...supposed to prevent periods, when most of our patients bleed more on it anyway...so dumb!

  • I HATE the IUD. It was the worst form of birth control I ever tried and I regret ever putting my body through so much pain and discomfort for months - until I decided to have that junk removed. It was the worst pain I had ever felt when it was inserted I couldn't move, all I could do was cry as I was bleeding. For weeks after, I suffered indescribable abdomen pain to the point where I dreaded every speedbump and had trouble twisting my body without feeling sharp pain. The pill & Depo are better.

  • @galina26 depo is the worse thing you can ever do your body.

  • @tyeis90 WHAT IS DEPO??

  • That damn string feels freaky during sex!

  • Comment removed

  • @ rouguegirl29 it prevents the body from allowing the sperm and egg to interact and form a fetus. It can also end menstruation in some cases.

  • this a good vedio and i find it inportant. Thanks for makeing this vedio

  • I got pregnant while on the iud and had to get an abortion. it was devastating for me and my husband.

  • @MsLoyal12 thanks for telling that

  • im 21 and have 2 children. the pill just didnt work for me. i got the mirena coil 6 weeks after the birth of my second child and its amazing! the only bad side effects are that it makes you gain weight about two year after you get it in. and even though it stops the periods, the cramps still happen on time every month!

  • Make sure you CHECK the STRINGS every MONTH was not told about that as result was not checked in the 2 years its been in. Been so sick and and painfor over a year was told mirena could not cause these problems. now i find out mine is MISSING and now somewhere else in me. So freaken pissed off. they say is so cheap but if you have issues it is not anywhere near as cheap as BC pills.

  • How exactly does an intrautrine device work?

  • Does anyone find this mildly disturbing? lol xD

  • the Mirena is the best Birth Control ever i love it

  • I believe that mirena is a bit more effective than the other one, but I'm concerned about getting it instead of the other one because of the hormones. I think it's the hormones that are in the oral contraceptives that are causing all the problems. I do believe there is a much smaller dose of hormones with the mirena though, so maybe I wouldn't have the same issues? I guess I should just talk with my doctor about it, but I'd like to get as much info as possible before I decide...

  • @annpetasupporter oh and I actually was feeling so much better on the Mirana and happier and started to Lose weight on it! i will warn you it hurts like realy bad cramps when you get it put in!

    and my Sex Drive is actully increasing and i just had my second one put in on Tuesday! I already feel better and no more headachs right now. if you are going to get it put in wait till your period and then have them put it in on either the second or 3rd day of it! hopes this helps!=)

    Jessica

  • @jsrcamp DO YOU GET YOUR PPERODS NORMAL???I JUST GOT MINE 3 DAYS AGO WHEN DOES THE CRAMPING AND BLEEDING STOP??

  • @pinkandsexy87 Hi in the begging you moght have spotting and the main cramps should have gone away by the next day! Did you have your period when they put it in? if so you might have the cramps from that and it took me a few months to get it on track but taht is also because I didnt get mine regulary when I wasnt on it and even when I was on the pill I didnt get it regulary! and by the 1 year mark I stoped getting it, but that I heard only happens to some and some still get their periods!

  • I'm considering getting one of these two options. I've had problems with oral contraceptives, because they give me massive headaches and kill my sex drive. I'm also concerned about the other side effects such as weight gain and an increase in blood pressure. I've tried two different kinds. Also, I'd like something more longterm.

  • @annpetasupporter hey I was having the same issues as you describe with the Migrains and I have found that the Marina WORKS wounders for me I was getting massive migrains to the point where I would be knocked out for a whole 2 days when I was on the Pill so I tried the patch and that did mothing but make me sick to my stomach and make my headachs worse! this is my second time on the Mirania and the first time I had no more headachs and just got my 2nd on it cuz I just had a baby 8mnts ago!

  • when you really think about it, ANY birth control has risks...it's putting foreign chemicals and objects into your body, and its not always good...

  • I have terror having kids because I compete every day in a world of men in my work and I am a student I dont even have time to sleep a kid right now it can be in my plans right now anyway I preferred adopt in a future a kid who really need parents Im going to be like Madonna and Angelina of the point of adoption why i want to have kids for past my last name and my dna?! is not a lot of reasons when is millions of kids dying for hungry the world is overpopulated and the times are getting worst

  • I had one put in me. Its been allmost a year. And I keep geting alot of cramps. Every time I call my doctor they says it normal. But I dont think it is normal to have this much cramping. I had to have it put in cause I had utrus cancer.

  • @angelgirl2188 why cancer? Mirena prevent utrus cancer? what kind of cancer?

  • @angelgirl2188 I feel for you!! But this sounds like an unconvincing procedure, and im worried about the implications for women.......... could take up to a year to get pregnant!!!

    Good luck.

  • paraguard is 10 year and mirena is 5 year max time that it should be inserted, But either one can be removed before that when ever you choose.

  • Im 32 i had the para guard for almost 10 years and never had any problems with it. I took it out 2 years ago and now have a 3 month old baby boy. So its a great choice for a long term prevention method without being permanent.

  • @8l0nd1e1 what is the para guard? and how does it work? get inserted etc.

  • hi everyone. i read "galina26" 's common and i want to say that i have Mirena IUD too. i am 22, i do not have children i've never been pregnant and as a result i haven't gave birth. It is true that the worst pain was tha moment it was inserted and the cramps afterwards, but everything is ok now. i have the Mirena IUD for 1 year and half without any problems...

  • @doliana91 I don't have kids too Im 24 and I put one today it was painfull and littler of nauseas and dizziness but Im just like that it happen when i put a bellyring too and bleeding but Im star to feeling better I know this is normal that have to steel accommodate and accept to the body my doc said tomorrow i will feel ok

  • I just had mine today! I was expecting pain but thank God it was not painful for me its just uncomfortable like getting a papsmear. I was like " thats it??" the doctor said thats it, youre good to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Im 23 and ive had Paragard for a year now. i wasn't in too much pain but I did notice that my periods are heavier and last longer than before. I like it it doesn't bother me at all.

  • I know what u mean. Worst pain ever. I also had a cycle for a month and now I have longer cycles than ever. A friend of mine said when she got ready to get the merena removed, it was difficult. she said the string got all knotted up or something. It was a bad experience for her. I also think it causes weigt gain!

  • I have to say, I had a TERRIBLE experience with the Mirena IUD. The worst pain of my life, was the moment it was inserted. I bled, screamed, cried my eyes out, and couldn't get off the hospital bed for almost an hour. I was in intense pain for 2 weeks and still in pretty bad pain for a pain following. It's 4 months later now, and I'm scheduled to take it out. It is not for everyone.

  • You're right, HealthIsInPlease, I don't know anything at all. And I guess women don't know much, either. Otherwise unplanned pregnancies wouldn't be so common, eh?

    One important fact that these people didn't mention was that if your partner was to get pregnant than the baby would have to be aborted (aka scrapped away), which is exactly what happened to me and my wife. Yeah, you can still get pregnant from it. Not to mention other health effects that IUDs can have on a woman...

  • I've been using one of the copper IUD's for the last 19 yrs and it has never failed me yet. I've had it changed 3 times in those yrs and the only annoyance i have is that my periods are heavier, usually lasting about 8 days but apart from that i highly recommend them.

    I had it put in just after my daughter was born and have never worried about birth control since 10/10!!

  • First of all, I do not advise anyone to get this UNLESS they have had children. this makes your cervix more favorable for the measuring and insertion. if you take an interest in this, make sure you are on your period first, you will be naturally dialated. (and take painkillers first :) by at least the 2nd or 3rd day of your period. take as many deep breaths as you can during insertion, it will cramp. I just had mine put in 10/21/09 so we'll see how it works. so far, so good

  • horrivel

  • actually gplex, when they say 99.9% effective, it means EACH time you have sex, theres a .01 chance you'll get pregnant. the percentage doesn't mean out of 100 sexual encounters.

  • Comment removed

  • After my child is born i want to get on the IUD but my husband and I are both skeptical because we hear some people have had children while on the IUD and according to this video she was more likely to have a miscarriage and that something that i don think i can handle mentally.. but does anyone out there have a sucess story on this method

  • Statistically speaking, every 100 times you have sex, you will get pregnant.

  • but if your married though, that will never happen

  • after my baby's birth i decided to get the minerva iud because it was the easiest and more effective less stressful birth control. i didn't get cramps at all i did bleed for like 2 weeks and my periods were really heavy for 2 weeks the first 2 months after the 3 month until now my periods are light & last 2-3 days. this does work for me ive never gone through a possible pregnancy with the iud and i've had it for a year. the only thing is that during sex you can feel the strings.

  • @19lauritabonita U FEEL THE STRINGS OR UR PARTNER??AND DOES UR PARTNER PULL OUT OR FINISHES INSIDE!!!/???U DONT HAVE TO ANSWER IF YOU DONT WANT TO BUT IM CURIOUSE CAUSE I MEANI GOT MINE 3 DAYS AGO STILL FEEL CRAMPS!!!AND NOT SURE IF HE CAN FINISH INSIDE!!!LOL..

  • for some reason this method freaks me out... not sure why

  • ME again.. I forgot to add that If you have had a child.. and you get mirena, and you think it hurts.. HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU OR DID YOU HAVE THAT CHILD?????

  • OMG... I have Mirena, and when they put it in me... it didnt hurt at all... I couldnt even feel it... I aked my doctor afterwards she said thats it.. i asked thats it.. no more?? wow.. Yea... Well a month earlyer I also had my Son.. so... yea Also you cant get Mirena unless you have had at least 1 child... that is like a rule and 98% of Gyno's will agree on that....=D

  • Actually, Mandy. That is incorrect. They don't RECOMMEND getting it, due to the pain you will fill if you've never had a child, but you can still get it. The only reason they don't recommend it is because your uterus isn't stretched out or used to being stretched out if you haven't had a child.

  • I just had an IUD (Paraguard though) put in today, and yes, it was painful. Never had children, and I had the option of going with Mirena, but chose not to as Paraguard has no hormones and is smaller, while Mirena is bigger and has hormones.

    The pain ends after about 5 hours, and just feels like you're having contractions or menstrual cramps. Just take a midol or asprin and then take a nap and you'll feel fine. :)

  • yes it is kyanis. it hurts like you cannot imagine and there are side effects. Like i had it put in, and now i am trying to get it out and the doctors can't do it because my string is stuck to my cervix. so i'm screwed... DO NOT DO IT! believe me

  • I am in my dr.'s office right now about to get a iud, hope all goes well. I will have further comments on this issue later.

  • Had mine taken out about 6 weeks ago and feel so much better. my husband HATED being stabbed by those damn strings. Probably one of the worst pains 've ever had getting it in, absolutly horrifying. After a couple days it got better then nothing. Periods didn't stop, but thats OK.

  • I've been told that it hurts like hell to get those put in. I've also been told that it is the form of birthcontrol with the highest % of complications and side-effects. Is this true?

  • omg im planning on gettin an iud, but hearing about the pain gives me the chills!

  • i just got mine inserted today! If u've had a baby it's no prob at all! The only part that kinda hurt was when she clamped my cervix. It's just a lil pinch though not to bad! I'd say go for it!

  • soundz lovely...

  • To let yall know, I found out this past sunday that my IUD was put in wrong, ive been having pain and blood, and on sat i started to have chills and fever, i went the next day to the ER, were they kept me from 3 to 10pm that night, i am on meds, and i go in am to get this taken out of me, which in all this realy sucks, it hurt alot putting it in, and its not cheep! Ill be getting on the pills very soon, im not looking foward to getting it taken out!!!!

  • I just went today and got my 1st IUD took out and a new 1 put in, all in the same vist. And no one told me how painfull this was going to be, it has been 2 hours since i had it done, and im still hurting, i can take pain i have 3 kids, but i was not aware of how painfull this thing is, dont get me wrong i am very happy to have this, but it HURTS! Good luck ladys if u get this, theres alot more pain for women who did not just give birth to a baby, and ur getting 1 put in..

  • Thank you for being so honest !! I am pregnant right now with my third, but I have been looking into this already. Is it really crazy painful ??? Like bad cramps?

    How long were you sore for? Are you still in pain? : (

  • I had this done on wed. it is now fri., and im still having light pains, yes i got it done right after having my 3rd child, and it didnt hurt at all at that time, but i cant say the same for this time, and i know 5 years from now im not doing that again! I mean i am walking around like i just had a kid, this thing kicked my a*s, i wish the doc would have told me more about the pain. I'm so not trying to scare any one from having this, its the best thing when u dont want another kid, but OUCH!!!

  • i got paraguard inserted 3 weeks ago and didnt have a problem..

    but idk if i could stick my finger up there lol

  • ill just wanna ask if how old a woman are alowed to have IUD..im just 22 years old now..and i have 1 baby already..

  • They usually put it in women who's already has children because the cervix opening is more dilated, making it easier to insert. Also for women in steady monogamous relationships because there's less chance of a STD infection.

    For younger girls and women who hasn't had kids, there's just a slightly higher chance it might fall out. But there's still lots of teen girls and women who have IUDs and never had kids before.

    So just about any age.

  • What about women who can only have c-sections like me? I am preparing for my third c-section in November. Does that mean the IUD would be more painful for me because my cervix has not been "stretched" as such...

  • Some women barely feel anything while for some it can be painful (like an intense cramp I've heard) but the insertion is very quick. There's painkillers you can take also.

    Also it's the same after insertion. Some women will feel nothing while some will feel soreness or cramping afterward that'll go away in time.

  • Thanks for your prompt reply. Very much appreciated :)

  • 1 question? how da heck can it fall out if there cervix hasnt been dilated from having kidz?? dat dont make sense..plz explain it soundz like the otha way around, if u had kidz it more of a chance of it falling out!!!

  • I really don't know, that's just what they said. Lots of women with no kids have an IUD with no problem. But the guidelines have changed and women who've never been pregnant and even those under 20 can now get one.

  • There should be no age limit, especially if you had a kid. Some doctors might be reluctant to place it in younger women, just call until you find one that does (took me 4 tries, finally found one who's willing :))

  • i had mirena for almost 5 yrs the last two were spent having vaginal flare ups that felt like acid i was told it was not the IUD but get this once it was removed a yr now i have had NO flare ups please people do not get an IUD

  • whats flare ups?

  • yeah watz flare ups?

  • Screwall of you Dx i just had that shit done today T_T yes its painfull if youve never had a child...... But its better to do it when your on your period cause your curvics are diolating just enuf so it can go in without it hurting as much :D i sugest it for every female whom is sexualy active it lasts for 5 years then theres one thats lasts for 10 years.

  • fuck you austin

  • Looks painfull... Not too keen on having strange objects stuck up there...

  • The first slipped out and I got pregnant on the 2nd. I happen to be the only patient that my Doc has ever had who's body rejected one let alone 2.

    The part that hurts is the instrument that they used to hold the cervix. It's kinda like clamping tweezers that they put inside of you, clamp shut and let go. That for me was the painful part. It made me very angry. I bleed and actually sat in the room when they were done and told them I would come out once I had calmed down.

  • I fainted prior to the insertion and the pain was unbearable. Had i know the pain involved going in, i would have said f**k this. Seriously, the pain is unbearable for 2 days. Nothing helped relieve the pain but percocet. Nausea, dizziness, fatigue, extreme cramping. Yeah, Mirena so far has been hell. I'm hoping that when i actually do have sex, my partner doesn't feel the strings. If he does, i'm taking this sh*t out.

  • LMFAO! um sorry itz not funny wat happened 2 u, but how u said it...lol!

  • I had my IUD in for two years. I loved it because I am always prone to forget to take medication. The longer I have to wait to use something the more I will be to forget. So this works out for me, but I did get unusual bloody discharge even now which looked brownish. I think they were clots. And if the IUD was sticking out of my cervix a little sexual intercourse was abruptly interrupted by pain. So I took it out hoping to have more control over my actions now. Hope this helped!

  • I got the Mirena IUD about four months ago, and I love it! It did hurt to have it placed (I'm not going to lie!), but ibuprofen helped a lot. I had cramping on and off for about the first three weeks, but nothing major. My cycles have gotten lighter, even though they are slightly longer. The only complaint I have is that right before my cycle, I have a little acne outbreak. But it's still better than having a baby!

  • I have the Marina, but I want to have another kid soon. My baby girl is 11 months old but I want to wait until she is almost 2 to start trying again. I really don't want my kids more then 3 years apart. My Doc. told me once I get it removed I will be as fertile as if I was to just give birth. Your video is saying it might take up to a year after it is removed, So who do I believe?

  • amandapanda,

    I think that you should consult with your doctor about new information you recieved. I mean everything else in the video was true, so who is not to say the video is wrong? But you should just tell the doctor that you have heard otherwise and was wondering under what circumstances is it possible that you are still infertile for a year after removing the IUD?

  • I just got scheduled to have my DNC and IUD put in Thursday my OBGYN said I can begin trying to get pregnant one month after having it removed. So it may depend on the doctors knowledge.

  • amandapanda1116 :

    Hi, I just read through comments and realised that you were given conflicting advice from doctors and other people. I think the best way is to consult your doctor again to clarify the facts for you because studies has shown that 80% of women become pregnant within 12 months of Mirena IUD removal and 87% within 24 months. Our bodies respod to Mirena differently depending on age, number of pregnancies, health conditions, physical/psychological/environ­mental factors etc

  • da video..or jus go by ur gutfeelin

  • I just got my ParaGard inserted last week. I cramped for two to three hours afterwards. I am kicking myself for not having it done sooner. I am a college student and want to get through school before even thinking about marrying and starting a family. This is awesome! Plus I have tried other methods of birth control but couldn't use them because of the hormones emitted from them.

  • Pretty decent video. I didn't like how it was pretty much all still shots of the IUD and such though. Some animation would have been nice.

  • Oh fuck off.

  • What the fuck?

    I'm a Muslim and an ABSOLUTE supporter of iud's. The world population is unsustainable.

    Besides won't iud's be the BEST WAY TO PREVENT ABORTIONS?

    What's worse-birth conrtol or KILLING A CHILD!.

  • @shademurtagh Smart ! no really, im not kidding

  • @shademurtagh Population has nothing to do with it. You can fit 6 billion people with a house a small front and backyard entirely in the state of texas. It's the lifestyles and corporate consumer culture that is unsustainable.

  • Copper T may or may not have steroids

  • thinking about having that damn thing inserted makes me hurt. I can't imagine having it actually in there.

  • Insertion, for me, wasn't bad at all. I've never had any kids. I just took 800 mg of Ibuprofen beforehand.

    You can ask for a cervical block. But most women will say it's a little more than a cramp.

    It's been around a month for me and sometimes I forget I have an IUD. Just be sure to check for the strings after your period. :)

  • Mirena. Fantastic. I didn't and still don't have any side effects.

    It's totally ace.

  • i was an idiot for getting this! my husband convinced me to get this mirena. i have to many side effects to write it all... i bled for 3 1/2 months straight.(very light flow after 3 weeks) i cramp all the time, my back hurts, moodswings,confusion........

    i dont thinks it horrible its just not right for me...other people do fine with it like my sis n friends

  • you shouldve got the paraguard which has no hormones instead of the mirena which lets out hormones. hormones can change the way you feel

  • this thing works my g.f. has it.

  • um these arent pills or abortion pill, this is an iud idiot. stop copying and pasting this on everything that has to do with birth control if youre not going to post the correct information to the right video

  • The pill prevents ovulation, or the release of an egg by the ovary. There is only one pill specifically to induce a miscarriage, the RU-486. It DOES NOT contain the same hormones as birth control pills.

    To help you understand, no egg = nothing for the sperm to fertilize.

    Take your scare tactics somewhere else. Or at least research your "information" somewhere other than a church library.

  • I fully agree.

  • it looks good and easy put it is bad...... the IUD i don't know how or why put on some women the IUD can get stuck in the vaginal walls, Nazzty........ i don't want kids but i don't want to hurt my body so im going old fashion CONDOMS>>>>>>

  • The IUD was horrible!!! Initially, I got a period that lasted at least 3 months! It made me super weak.. loss of iron. It also was not pleasing during intercourse. I called it a mousetrap. It pokes my boyfriend. I get irregular bleeding and pms for about 2 weeks. My sex drive has dropped almost completely. It may be due to the discomfort? I am not sure. Vaginal dryness.. ughh I know, just being honest. I'm taking it out finally.. after 8 months of torture.

  • im going through a similar situation, and im getting this bitch removed ASAP, even if i have to do it my damn self!!

  • OUCH! lol

  • Wow, very educational video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will think about purchasing this item. It's a pain in the ass at times to use condoms and I don't think I'm allowed to take birthcontrol due to other medication I'm taking. :-P

  • i just had mirena done today, it hurt quite a bit but its like 2 minutes of pain for 7 years of protection. i think its amazing

  • 7yrs? I thought theres da 5yr 1 N da 10yr 1? let me know cuz I want more options..

  • It has been two years that i got the mirena put in and i luv it. I have two children and am not ready yet for the 3rd. Hurts a little at first and i bleed for two whole weeks. But the releif is well worth it and i get to just enjoy my two beautiful girls!! It really works.

  • I got my Mirena 7-05 after the birth of my third child. I LOVE IT. No side effects for me and no having to remember. My third child was due to double birth control failure.

  • I had a mirena last month and it was a so painfull!! I'm a mother of 3 and the procedure was just as painfull as a delivery contraction. Sorry to say but i vomited and nearly fainted in the doctor's office. BUT, so far it's a life change! No more pills to take every day! no worries! My husband and I are very happy... so far! 5 :)

  • you're a bloke - what do you know.

  • Sorry, but this is not the most popular form of birth control in the world. Most people have never even heard of it. They all resort to condoms. None of my friends heard about this until I told them. I didn't even know about this until our doctor presented the option to me and my wife. I never knew it existed and it wasn't taught in Sex-Ed either.
