speaking of planned parenthood...
I need some advice ladies!
I have only ever used the pill and I am looking to get something more..long term. I am looking into Merena and Implanon. Has anyone had either of these? What can you tell me about each?
H and I have some exciting plans on the horizon and I want to make sure Im "covered" for the next few years.
TIA

Re: speaking of planned parenthood...
I thought Mirena was only for those that have had a child? I might be wrong on this.
I don't know much about IUD's except for the fact that a girl in my class had one and it failed - she's now 6mo. pregnant with her 6th child! OMG!

ZOMG haha. Im leaning toward the implanon but I just am so uninformed on it, and ofcourse I fear the unknown.

Yes and it is 99% effective for 3 years. However its like 400 upfront, and IDK how much our insurance would cover. Removal is 150

Yah I think most of those you have to have one child first.
You can probably call your insurance and ask about Implanon...honestly they may cover a lot because cost of that vs cost of baby for them is much less haha
I hated the depo shot and my doc won't even do them anymore. I had a period the entire 6 months they made me stay on it (except for a total of 2 weeks). I didn't have any mood swings but I read a lot that many women became very depressed, and weight gain like nola said...that didn't happen to me either however I was also 21 and working out 5 times a week so who knows haha
You don't have to have had a child to get a Mierena or Paraguard (the copper IUD). If you've had a child, it will be easier to place bc your cervix has been dilated before. Also, some dr's refuse to do it if you haven't had a kid, but you can find some who will.
They can also give you something that will dilate your cervix approx. 2 cm. which will help with insertion. They also recommend taking a lot of ibprofen before the insertion.
It can be painful, but most people said it subsides after a few seconds and some have cramping for a day or so, but that's nothing worse than normal cramps.
I've heard really great things about Mirena and am pretty sure I'll end up getting it at some point this year. I've been contemplating it for awhile. My insurance will cover a percentage and since it lasts for 5 years, I'll actually be saving money on BC in the long run.
I've never heard about anyone getting pregnant on it...although it can happen if it isn't placed right. But that's why I'd use condoms until I had my follow-up (within a month) to make sure it's still in place.
