birth control
"I had the mirena placed at my 6 week postpartum visit in May 2014 after my second child at the age of 25. My husband and I knew our family was complete. I discussed birth control options with my obgyn - Mirena, Essure, and the pill. I opted for the mirena after asking yons of questions, which he was very honest and told me out of the 5 he puts in he might take 2 out, I knew that wasn't good odds but I will give it a try. He inserted it in no time with no pain. I have had it in for about 15 months now and absolutely love it. I haven't had any weight gain, no crazy hormones, no cramping, and best of all no spotting or periods since day 1. I hope my success continues like this for the next 4 years with it inserted."
