Mirena Birth Control Device

Posted by: Nicole1121 on Sun Aug 24, 2008

I have been using the Mirena device for a year and a half now and I love it...except for the cramping off and on for three weeks a month...but it is very effective...and i never have to worry about getting pregnant...my periods are lighter and I could lose it all together...(I keep praying)...some days during my period i only use pantiliners because it is so light...and we don't need to use condoms ever again...and it can be removed as soon as we decide we want another baby...You can keep it in up to 5 years or less if you decide you want another baby...and the FDA is working on changing the 5 year time limit to 7 years...so by the time my 5 years are up, I still might be able to leave it in another 2 years if the FDA approves it.
