The Mirena IUD contains progesterone same as most hormonal birth controls, so it's possible it can affect your libido. Reports thus far seem to say that it doesn't effect libido as much as the pill, or worse, Depo. There is also another IUD option, the traditional or copper IUD. Negative effects such as increased flow, spotting and cramps are sometimes noted though. Most importantly, discuss both options with a professional, and remember, if it doesn't work out for you after a few months, have it taken out and try the other! There's a nice discussion of various methods of birth control and their effect on libido here: http://www.webmd.com/content/Article/84/98116.htm Do note, however, that they've not studied Mirena's effects on libido fully.

You got Mirena in May and am still bleeding heavily and have really bad cramps is this normal?

I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with the Mirena. I too had the Mirena and experienced the same issues as yourself over an 8 month period. It turned out that I had several oversized Fibroids and the Mirena did not help with the stemming of heavy bleeding. I had my Mirena removed and subsequently the Fibroids - best thing I ever did. I know they say it can work instantly or may take a couple of months, but it depends on how long you want to continue with things they way they are. Good luck with which ever dicision you make.

Can you use mirena if you have not had a child yet?

After Googling this same question, I've read various responses that came to the extent that it is up to your doctor, whether you've had a child or not, if Mirena is right for you.Women have had Mirena inserted who have had no children.I have Mirena and I haven't had a child yet. It is up to the doctor and the issue is if it can be expelled. If it is inserted during your cycle there should be no problem. Just make sure you're doctor is skilled in inserting them.Hi,I got my Mirena and haven't had a child yet either, but it was very painful. The best time for an IUD is 6 weeks after childbirth bc the cervix is still soft and open.
