Mirena IUC
By jayjay1113 onAfter having my son last year my husband and I decided that I'd take some form of contraceptive until we were ready to have another child. I've taken birth control pills before like Triphasil or Alesse but they made me feel nauseousand irritated all day. Sometimes my throat would feel weird like I hadn't swallowed the pill and it dissolved in my throat!So, I explored my options and discovered Mirena.
Mirena is an estrogen-free intrauterine contraceptive that could be used for up to 5 years. It uses a low dose of Progesterone and can also help to shorten or lighten periods. Mirena could also be easily removed when you want to try to conceive.
I asked my girlfriend from the UK about Mirena and she couldn't say enough good things about it. She was using the Mirena Coil product. I went to my OB to get the same one but that version is not available in Canada so he wrote me a prescription for the regular Mirena.
I have since had a much lighter period, no irritation or nauseous feelings with Mirena. I also do not have to remember to take it everyday and worry if I missed it like you do on the pill. I have felt less inhibited sexually with Mirena installed and my husband has noticed this too!

I am going to pass this info to my daughter. Thanks
Interesting. Is the price a one time expense? Looks pretty steep!
This is great information. I was looking into this after my first one. I just never knew anyone who actually used it that could talk to me about it. Thanks for the info, good to know about your experience with this!
I have always been a BCP person. Thanks for the info on the mirena.
Thanks for the information on this product. I have been wondering what to use after my daughter was born. These scared me some because I belong to a group (PCOS) and they have experienced a few...oopsie babies..with these lol. Due to my PCOS I usually have to take BCPs anyway. But this can help a lot of women who have been wanting something besides the pill.
I too have heard the horror stories of the old IUDs "back in the day." Good to know that they are safer now. So many women have bad side effects with birth control pills. What a great alternative. Glad it is working for you:0)
I always wondered about Mirena because I didn't know anyone that had used it. Thanks for the great information.
Sounds like a great form of BC, they came out with this after I had my tubal. I wish they had done it sooner, now we are talking about babies again :D
I wish there would have been something like this back in the day when I was a young wife.
