My mom used to work for a gynecologist. According to her, the intrauterine ones are the WORST.

Why?
- It's a foreign object inside your body. Your body may react violently to it while attempting to rid itself of the "foreign attacker".

- risk of infection or hemorrhaging.

- I believe they used to use metal or something to make the insert, but changed it to a softer material because there was a high chance if it puncturing the uterine wall. Even though the material is softer now, there's still a chance of that happening (it even says so on the commercial).

- You need a doctor to put it in and remove it. If your contraceptive makes you extremely ill, if you'r eon the pill, you can just stop using the pill. But with Mirena, you have to make a doctor's appointment.

I'm not saying that this can and will happen to you on Mirena; I'm sure there's plenty of satisfied users. But I think with Mirena, there's more risks.

Also, keep in mind that certain doctors may tell you that an intrauterine thing will be "best for you" simply because they'll get a shitload of money from your insurance company for performing the procedure to insert it. Some doctors (especially if this is your first time ever visiting them and you've had no prior experience with birth control) care more about their paychecks than their patients.

:) Thank you very much
