I feel like I have eaten all the fattening foods for a while, and should probably eat celery for the next four days.
Shit, I missed that part, sorry. But I still wonder about the Nuva ring?
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I loved my IUD (Mirena) while I had it. No issues with insertion, but I'd had two kids by then and my understanding is it's easier with a used cervix.

yes! I'll take hot flashes (which, since my office is FREEZING is more of an advantage than I'd expected).

I have a Mirena and I LOVE it. It makes such a difference with period related headaches. Not having a period has also vastly helped keep my anemia in check.
This is my fifth year and in talking with my doc, she suggested I keep it there and not get a new one. She wants to wait until I'm fully in (over?) menopause.
The installation (thanks Teppy) five years ago does not carry the memory of pain. Discomfort, sure, but nothing that was ouchy (technical term).
I was using the Nuva ring before that and it was ok. I still got headaches and other fun PMS yuck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Thanks, everyone. I guess first I have to find a new OB-GYN, since the one I saw last year was terrible.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Chiming in late, but I loved the Mirena. My OBGYN is very sympathetic to pain and gave me a prescription for 6 Valium to get me through the insertion. My second one fell out - but that's rare and was probably due to my particular circumstance - and I haven't gotten another, but I'm thinking about it. It was so nice to not have periods, or cramps, or headaches.

My Mirena was great. Sometimes I miss it.

Valium sounds nice.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Funny, I'm about to get my Mirena yanked after only 2.5 years. Between the persistent weight increase and energy level decrease, I'm unhappy enough to voluntarily choose having periods again.
