Hi keyra,

Just wanted to chime in and say that i too have the mirena iud and I have had absolutely no problems. I love it. I can't even tell it's there. I do still have a light but very regular period. Most people I know that have it, haven't had any issues with it. Plus, you don't have to worry about bc for 5 years if you don't want to and if you decide to try for more kiddos before 5 years is up, you can just have it removed. Your body and mind are in the middle of so many changes during the first year or so after surgery, I couldn't imagine adding a pregnancy in the mix. You are young and have plenty of time to have babies! Why take that risk to both your health and your baby's health when you can wait. Just my opinion. Hope you find something that works for you and your hubby!

Trina- I agree with Coleen, it doesn't sound normal that you feel pain during sex. I don't think that's suppossed to happen. Not sure about the heavier periods, cause I know the device can affect everyone differently, but you shouldn't be in pain. I would get that checked out! Just a thought.
