Is the Mirena IUD birth control safe to use? Side-effects of Mirena
I've been wanting to change my birth control methods to something safer than the pill and I ran across these intrauterine devices called Mirena. I don't really know much about the Mierna IUD though and was hoping that somebody could tell me some more about it before I see my doctor next month for my yearly check-up.
Are there any serious side effects of having the Mierna inserted? Is the Mirena safe to use as birth control? Does anyone have good or bad experiences with it (please share, if so)? All information is appreciated...

Everyone is different but I was on the Mirena IUD for 2 years. At first it was great and everything I could hope for.. The periods were light, It was 99.9 effective and it lasted 5 years... That was until I started experiencing abdominal pains. Then I read up on how the Mirena can create scar tissue and possibly make you infertile.

This should be good reading for you. None of this is professional advice, however it is a large gathering of disparate viewpoints and experiences with birth control.
Ask your doctor, and google "Mirena IUD side effects" and such and do a bit of research into it on your own. But the link above should at least contain some good general information if you're willing to read through it. Theres a post about Mirena on the first page.
