I have had a mirena for about 7 years, and I love it. I am very sensitive to progesterone, so just couldn't tolerate the depo injections that you are doing so well on. I guess we are all different - the mirena suits me as the progesterone is not absorbed systemically. I do know that iud's are more easily tolerated by women who have had children.

Intra Uterine Device

I use a copper IUD. It causes some heavier bleeding but is otherwise absolutely wonderful. I got it free from planned parenthood. Some insurance pays for it.
