x-post IUD
I was thinking about Merina... since it has a low dose of hormnes will it cause AF to come? I am 3 months PP, EBF and I wanted to know if I got it would it bring on AF?? Im hoping for 13 months like I went with Jeremy w/o AG

Re: x-post IUD
I got the Mirena after my second. I got my AF back 9 weeks pp, even when I BF. Once I had it in, i bled lighty for about 3-4 weeks  but after that, the two periods I did get were so light! Then I stopped getting AF.. Once in while I'll spot, but that's it. I love it!

Re: x-post IUD
I did start getting AF when I got mine put in. I don't know if you really call it AF or just the spotting that comes with the IUD. The spotting can last 3 months. Once that stopped I had a regular period for a few months then nothing. It was really nice having no AF and knowing I wasn't pregnant.

Re: x-post IUD
So both you ladies got it a few times then that was it? That sounds pretty good to me.

Re: x-post IUD
I am thinking of going on the copper IUD (I cannot have anything with hormones in it) , has anyone had experience when coming off of it, how easy or difficult it is to get pregnant again? I know we want more kid(s) probably in 2 1/2 or 3 years. TIA

Depends on your insurance. Most people just pay a doctor co-pay for the visit. My insurance covered all doc visits pretaining to it. However, my insurance did not cover the actual device  I ended up paying for it out of pocket. Close to $500. I figured it was worth it - its good for 5 years and comes out ot be cheaper than the pill.

Re: x-post IUD
I have the paraguard. It is the IUD without hormones. If you have any questions, just ask.
