ive had mirena iud for 9 months now after baby was born & i like it a lot better than the copper t shape kind i had before. hopefully i will leave this one alone. the last one i had i was in a drunken manic state--i laid down in the bathroom floor & yanked it out. dont ask me what was going thru my head. was without birth control for a year & got pregnant. had my baby girl last october & mirena seems to agree with my body.
