I have been considering getting the Mirena IUD for birth control. I have done quite a bit of research on it, but there seem to be some interesting side effects. My male OB/GYN thinks it's a great idea and says that the negative blogs are just bitter people...hmmmm. If I get it I can always have it taken out, but it's expensive and I'm not sure about the hormones in it. I don't take anything now, and in the past regular birth control has always made me sick with ZERO libido. I really worry about my libido!!
The Mirena will also cause my periods to come to an almost complete stop which I like, but until then there can be intermittent bleeding for 6 months---unscheduled, intermittent bleeding...not fun. I'm just wondering if it's worth it or if there are lots of reports of bleeding, back pain, or decreased libido. Help!!
