[quote=Anonymous]My DD is 7 months old, and I'm considering getting the Mirena. I'm 99% sure we're done with kids (baby is my second), so I'm looking for something long-term with low hormones. We've been using condoms, but that's getting old. Two issues are that I'm still nursing -- and plan to continue until baby is 1 YO -- and my period has not returned. With my first, it returned at about year, once I cut down nursing to morning and night. Anyone have the Mirena negatively affect your milk supply? Is there a reason to wait until I get my first period to have the Mirena inserted? My Ob says it's fine to get as early as 6 weeks postpartum, but I'm hesitating because I feel like my hormones are still kind of crazy with the breastfeeding and lack of a period. Thanks.[/quote]
