I've read the FAQs & done the research, but I would like to hear from someone who is actually using it or who has tried it.
I'm due in two weeks & I will be breastfeeding, I just want to get a head start on my birth control options.

I have a merina IUD. It was a bit painful to put in. I had it inserted as soon as I was able after the birth of my daughter. My OB told be that I was still a bit tender.
They say that you have less periods or shorter. Not for me. I have the same cycle as before (for the most part) I love that I don't have to take a pill every day or take out or remember to put in a cervical cap or diaphram. Condoms suck as we all know.
Also, Its only good for 5 years so if you plan to have another baby its easy to take out. I will be having mine removed in MArch or April for the conception of our next child. I will let you know how that goes. I do hear it can be very painful to remove.

I have Mirena. I'm 39 with five kids and having it placed was no problem at all. I had spotting off and on for the first 3 months which they tell you to expect that. It has made my periods very light. I have no more PMS which has been great for me. I'm very happy I had it done.
Good luck with your decision!
