    I can't have the depo shot. I've had it before and it made me a nutcase. Worked well even after it had 'worn off' DH never came near me.

    And I was Dr googling... (yeah yeah, I know...) And apparently a few red itchy blotches are a common side effect of the implanon? That was my only problem with it. Just the localised rash. Could have been from the adhesive the gp put on after the procedure or anything really.

    How bad is the mirena? I hate inserting tampons let alone feeling for strings to make sure the mirena is in place iykwim. Plus the idea of a local down there... Ouch.

    I have the mirena and love it. You don't need a local to have it put in. I had mine put in at around the 8wk mark after birth. I got a script for it from my OB (a GP should be able to presribe one for you) and she put it in for me in her rooms. It was like having an invasive pap smear is the best way I can explain it. I had a little bleeding for a about 8wks after having it inserted until it settled down and stopped and has never returned. Bliss
    You shouldn't be able to feel the strings, neither your DH. If you can feel them, you go back and get them trimmed.
    I don't feel for the strings anymore.
    I was initially not happy with it due to the bleeding for a while after, I am so happy I persisted. It's been wonderful for me. No side effects at all.
    If you do get one, just one piece of advice...take a big bag when you collect it from the Pharmacist and don't panic, not all of that in the package remains inside you
