alternatives to Mirena?

i am 19 yrs old and was diagnosed with endometriosis in july of 2010. my gyn put me on yaz, and 6 months later i had a laparoscopy. after the surgery my doctor put me on Loestrin 24. last month i developed 3 blood clots in my lungs. obviously, my doc does not want to put me back on the pill, or put me on the patch or shot. instead, she wants to put me in Mirena. i have spent weeks researching and have read alot more bad reviews than good. i dont want it, but what are the alternatives?

With your history of blood clots, hormone based contraception is not recommended. If you are looking for help with your endometriosis symptoms, I am not aware of an alternative. For birth control, you might want to consider a diaphragm and/or regular use of condoms.
