[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Mirena IUD had been available in my teens when I started needing something for... sports, that would have been my pick. The pill sucked.[/quote] Mirena sucks too! From their himepage: About 2 out of 10 women stop having periods after 1 year of Mirena use. Your periods come back when Mirena is removed. ... Your period may become irregular and you may have bleeding and spotting between menstrual periods, especially during the first 3 to 6 months. A few women have heavy bleeding during this time. Sooooo a lucky 2 out of 10 stop having periods after a year! That means 8 do NOT! And wow, look, irregular periods and heavy bleeding! How is this helpful for sports?[/quote] I'm in the 8 of 10. Periods were easily managed with a bit of advil and a lightweight pad. It was great. I only stopped because I was old enough for my changes. Far less invasive than an oral hormone that attacks all your body's systems.[/quote]
