thank you for responding. i haven't gone backfor my six week check up since insertion. that appointment is next thursday. im running into the issue of no other birth control option because i have state insurance. medicaid. i cant afford monthly birth control. and we can't afford another baby anytime soon. im 23 and my husband and i werent trying to have a baby it just happened. we think she will be our only child. at least not within in the next 5 years. thats why i went with mirena. ive alo known a few ppl who have had an iud, and no problems for them. i just dont know what to do.
