Hello All:
There are a few threads that date back to 2008 regarding the Mirena IUD. I'm looking for current experiences (placement, pros of having it, cons of having it, etc....).
My high-level backstory: GYN is recommending it due to age (mid forties), high estrogen levels, and semi-abnormal cycles (nothing too crazy). I've also never had children.
Insurance covers it 100%. GYN has prescribed misoprostol to use the night before, plus vicodin for a couple of hours before.
I'm still on the fence because a lot of the reviews out there are so negative.
Thanks in advance!
