I have Mirena and I love it. You can't believe all the negative that you read. For all of those negative things you read, there are many more people not posting their positive experience because since they're not having a problem, they won't be going online looking for places to post about it. I've had mine a year and don't have any side effects. I was scared of it too at first but now I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner.

from my experience i would prolly go w/ iud (which im going to be asking my ob about when i go next) just because i got prego while on the pill when my 1st daughter was 2mos old & ended up having a miscariage & last time i was on the depo i ended up having my period for 35 straight days so iud sounds worth a try to me

I heard a lot of women get pregnant off the depo shot.
The pill was my choice.  I was on it for 7 years before I got off of it due to surgery.  It cleared my skin,  helped balance my moods...lessen the bleeding.  I loved it. My fiance got snipped so we're all good now lol

I want to try iud. Mirena. But there's this facebook site of reporting horrible experiences with it. So now I don't want anything:(

Mirena is good. Lasts for like 5 years. And can be removed if you decide you want another child. I liked depo too, but some people gain weight. Depo can cause bone density after like 2 years. A friend of mine kept getting fractures because the doctor let her be on ot for 5+ years.
