Polly A has give a great explanation of the Mirena. I have one. It's great.
It took a while to settle in and I was advised by my OB the best time to have it put in is when you have yet to have your first AF after baby.
My OB inserted the Mirena, it was like having and invasive pap smear, no anaesthetic needed at all. So not too bad. You can also have it removed anytime by your OB or a GP who knows about them.
When I say it took a while to settle in, I mean I had spotting for a good 3-4mths and then absolutely nothing, no AF at all. I am now getting very light, mini tampon initially for a day or so then liner only for another day or so AF.
Check this link out to the Mirena and contraception threads...lots of pros and cons.
For me it's a big Tick for he Mirena.
When you talk to your GP and if you decide on the Mirena, he will give you a script to take to the Chemist. Take a big bag when you pick it up It's quite a long package, they only use one tiny bit of all that stuff in the pack. It only cost $30 as well.
