Hey all,

So I'm going to the gynecologist tomorrow, and hopefully getting an IUD implanted. The one I have in mind (after talking to my psychiatrist) is Mirena.

SO:

Has anyone had negative side effects? What were they?

Does it mess with meds? I'm on a LOT of meds.

Will I have trouble getting pregnant AFTER?

I've never been on birth control before. I've heard negative things about the pill, but my strongest reason against it is that I have a very odd sleep schedule, and rarely take my pills at the same time each day, morning or night.

I've tried reading up on Mirena, but researching birth control is so confusing! I guess I'm not so worried about side effects like weight gain or bleeding, so much as I am about dangers to my health or my fertility.

I'm 21, by the way!
