Has Anyone Had Luck With An Implant Like The Mirena ?

Forrest City, AR

My doctor at school suggested that one but my doctor back home said it's only good for people who've have children. Anyone have experience with the mirena?

I've had 3 mirenas now over 12 years and have had no problem whatsoever. The first one took a couple of months to settle and gradually overtime I never got my period. I had it taken out last week so will be interesting to see how I feel. I've heard lots of stories about them going wrong and needing up in the wrong place but I suggest doing your homework and getting a specialist gyno put it in
Good luck!

I had one in for about 5 months after my excision surgery as my surgeon suggested it would be the best thing for me. My body rejected it and I had to have it out, however it really does depend on the person. Some people love them, some people hate them. The best thing is you can just take it out, it took 10 seconds and then I didn't have to worry about it again.

If you dont have kids don't do it. My doctor gave it to me at 16 and I've been having pain since. It's moved up and was lost. I even won the lawsuit against mirena

I had no luck with the mirena implant. I was put on myfembree I'm only a month and 26 days on it so far. I still have intense cramping, hot flashes, mood swings.
