Mirena IUD

I'm suppose to get the Mirena IUD placed Monday. My OB told me that the IUD is my best option for minimal weight gain, low hormones, & because I'm breastfeeding. Do any other moms have suggestions for a long term birth control that won't make me gain a ton of weight like the shot or any experience with Mirena themselves?

Re: Mirena IUD

  • I have mirena and really like it. I was on it for 3 years before deciding to get pregnant. I love not having periods and not having to remember to take the pill everyday.
  • I had 2 Mirenas for 6 years before LO. Will be getting one again in a couple weeks. I had no problems and loved them. I had no period and no other side effects (no weight gain, etc)
