birth control
"After having my second child, I developed a few ovarian cysts and endometriosis.  My doctor told me I needed birth control.  Out of all the options with birth control, the Mirena seemed to be the best option for me.  I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday, my periods are light to non-existent, and I'm still baby-free and cyst-free!  This is my 5th year using Mirena.  I just recently had it replaced (9 days ago).  I'm experiencing a few cramps on my left side, and I was spotting this morning, but that's all normal.  The removal of the last Mirena was a bit uncomfortable, but that's the only negative thing I have to say about it."
