Will women share their experience with the Mirena implant?

Best Answers

I absolutely LOVE the Mirena IUD. Just look at it, it's all cute and uterus shaped! Seriously though, it is the best birth control I have ever had. I am on my second one now; prior to the IUD I had used condoms and the birth control pill. read more

As with any medical intervention, the Mirena comes with some risks and side effects; unfortunately that means some women will end up with horror stories. My story, however, is very positive. After being on the pill for five years, I was getting pretty sick of it. read more

I found insertion less painful than the Mirena as well, but couldn't bear to look while it was being done (can't even look when I have an injection!). No problems with acne, moods or weight (maybe I should say no more than usual). read more

Mirena may also cause severe infections, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and sepsis. As of February 2018, the FDA had not released any new side effect warnings for Mirena. Women who say Mirena injured them filed thousands of lawsuits. As of Feb. 15, 2018, about 430 remained in federal court. read more
