What is the contraceptive method I've heard where they inject a little bar of hormone in to the side of your uterus instead of under the skin in your arm and it's meant to have very few side effects and work very well for people with heavy periods and lasts about 5 years? Has anyone had it? Is it any good?
Do you mean the Mirena IUD? I had it inserted for endo and it was pretty horrific for me, but many others have it without a problem.
if you mean the mirena, i have it, i had it, and it's better for me - doesn't stuff around with massive weight gain but does cause spotting for about 8 weeks also doesn't flare up depression like depo pro vera or implanon.
Must be it, I'm wondering if I should get it, I had bad endo pre-babies and my periods are already starting to become heavy and painful again but on the pill I got pregnant as they wouldnt give me a higher dose as I had prenatal with my first child so they didn't want to give me anything stronger and I just bled 24/7 on it
It is certainly worth a shot. It is one of those things where you can't really rely on other's experiences because what works for some wont work for others. Even though my experience was bad, I'd never tell anyone not to get it because it could be amazing for them.
