Anyone have an IUD?
I'm trying to decide between Mirena and Paraguard once LO gets here. I've spoken to my OB and read through the information on both, but I'm still stuck. Anyone have personal experience with either?

Re: Anyone have an IUD?
Is the bleeding predictable now or does it just start and stop randomly? Any side effects now?
The bleeding isn't really predictable, but I can kind of tell when it's coming. Honestly, it isn't anything more than spotting.
The only side effect I really have is that I get a bit anxious about things that don't normally bother me. It isn't to a point that I feel crazy or that I need medication. I just tell myself to stop freaking out, take a breath and drive on.
Awesome about the spotting. Do you think it's the hormones that cause the anxiety? I don't think I've had issues with hormones before
I've never had this issue on any other hormone before. I'm not sure what it is. I've had a few other friends who have noticed a similar issue. My doc says it is a common complaint she has heard. It is weird, though. I don't get anxious over normal things. I have always wanted to be a certified diver. H and I went to start and I had a panic attack about it. Everytime I've started thinking about doing it again, panic attack. I had no issue about snorkling, just the scuba diving.
Weird. Thanks for the insight girls
I've never heard the anxiety thing. I had mirena for 4 years and just had it taken out. I just had my first period post IUD which kind of sucked. After having nothing more than a couple hours of spotting once every few months, I had a full on real period.
I got mine out a year early because I've had no sex drive for a couple years. That didn't matter when H and I were living apart, but we're together again, so I thought I might as well try going hormone free for awhile and see if that helps.
I forgot that Mirena was suppose to stay in for 5 years? I'm thankful for this thread; an IUD is something I'm considering after this babe. But we're still not decided if we're going to try for a 3rd. Things to consider I suppose.
