birth control
"I got the Mirena about four and a half years ago...  Hurt getting it inserted (I haven't had a baby) but after the first six months of minor spotting it finally totally stopped. I had been in two car accidents and happened to be taking a heavy duty muscle relaxant- Thank goodness, because the cramps were something terrible, and according to my sister, she said they were the equivalent of contractions. It felt like my body was trying to push it out. I now want it out early because when we have sex now I bleed for a couple of days which is supposedly due to thinning of the lining. Good for mood and no periods though."
