Mirena IUD
I have had a very positive experience with the Mirena IUD. I started it about 6-8 months after the birth of my second child because I do not want more children. I’ve experienced basically no side effects. It was supposed to be 5-7 years when I got it, but it’s since been extended to 10 years so I have not yet had it changed out.
