Boy, am I glad to wonder upon this page. I am 10 weeks post partum and I'm starting to think about birth control. My gyno was very supportive of Mirena. I told him that I wanted to think about it and talk it over with my husband. My researching has led me to your comments on Mirena, and now I am scared to death to try it. I am predisposed to high blood pressure, so I need an estrogen-free birth control method. Neither my husband nor I can be trusted to rely solely on condoms. I'm not sure what to do.
Any other ideas, since Mirena doesn't seem to be all that it's cracked up to be??
