with my iud i was told to use pads for the first af after having it put in and then it was fine to use tampons. the mirena sounds like its quite a bit different though]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 15:02:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=155402&title=contraception#155402 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=155159&title=contraception#155159 Author: caraMel

No. The bleeding I had after it was put in was heavy for the first week after insertion, and then for the rest of the 3 months was so light it hardly even warranted more than a panty liner.

I have the info booklet on Mirena and it says that you really should use pads not tampons with it....do any of you use tampons?]]> Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:06:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=155123&title=contraception#155123 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154807&title=contraception#154807 Author: tashzmum

i had a normal iud put in at the end of last year back when i didnt want anymore kids and its worked great so far. the only problem i had was when the gyno was trying to put the thingy up to hold my cervix open i kept wanting to push it out lol.
i will be getting it taken out at the end of this year so we can ttc #2 and then once #2 is around a year old i will get another iud put in again.

i do get cramping during pms though which i never used to ge\t.]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:17:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154807&title=contraception#154807 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154757&title=contraception#154757 Author: nikkitheknitter

I'm getting an IUD in a few weeks... quite excited. It's not Mirena but certainly has to be better than the anxiety about pregnancy I've had in the last few months!]]> Mon, 04 Jun 2007 09:19:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154757&title=contraception#154757 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154518&title=contraception#154518 Author: caraMel

Thumbs up to the Mirena here too.
It is not very painful to get fitted and after intermittent light bleeding in the first 3 months I have had no periods at all and no horrid side effects.
If you're planning to get your full 5-7 years worth of contraception from it, I think it is definitely worth the $450.]]> Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:28:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154518&title=contraception#154518 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154496&title=contraception#154496 Author: Kels

I found the mirena really great. I had heaps of probs with the normal IUD but the mirena was hassle free, pain free contraception]]> Sun, 03 Jun 2007 12:31:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154496&title=contraception#154496 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7972&PID=154453&title=contraception#154453 Author: mummy_becks

I'm getting a Mirena. It is pricy if you don't qualify for it.

hi girls, now I've got my two beautiful children I think thats probaby it, I hated being on the pill and took myself off a few years ago (hence 2 kids, opps), I was wondering what contraception all the Mum's who want no more (or 90% sure they want no more) use?
