[quote=Anonymous]I have actually had both Mirena and Paraguard, one after each pregnancy. Paraguard was first, got it at 2 months post partum, and then didn't get a period due to breastfeeding until about 8 months post partum. Then I had heavy periods and cramps for 2 days (never had cramps in my life). At my 12 month appt, the doctor said to give it a full six months while menstruating, so i did. I learned to take 600 Motrin at the first sign of cramps and that was fine. The periods were heavy for about 2 days and I got better at predicting it. So I kept it for 2.5 years, got it removed and was pregnant weeks later. After the second pregnancy I tried Mirena. Periods were more like spotting--a little unpredictable which was annoying, but way better than Paraguard, no cramps, etc. No issues with milk supply. Got it removed 2 years later after DH has a vasectomy. Frankly "au natural" ever since has its own annoyances (after 18 years of some sort of birth control!)[/quote]
