Well, let me tell you, I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout this thing called Mirena. They say it’s somethin’ you put inside ya to keep from gettin’ pregnant. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I heard it’s like a little piece of plastic. Sounds strange, don’t it? But they say it works real good, more than 99% good at stoppin’ babies, for like, five, maybe even eight years! That’s a long time, ain’t it?
And then there’s this whole nursing thing. Some young’uns was wonderin’ if you can use that Mirena thing if you’re feedin’ a baby. Well, from what I gathered, seems like you can. They say it don’t mess with the milk, don’t make it less or taste funny or nothin’. And it won’t hurt the little tyke neither. So that’s good, I reckon.
But, you gotta talk to your doctor about it. Don’t just go puttin’ things in ya without askin’ someone who knows ’bout these things. A doctor, or a nurse, they’ll tell ya straight. And they’re the ones who gotta put it in and take it out. Can’t do that yourself, no sir.
Now, this Mirena IUD, it’s got some kind of medicine in it, they call it hormones. It stops the babies from comin’. There are other things too, I hear, that don’t have that medicine, these non-hormonal IUD. These ones, they got copper in ’em. Some folks don’t like the hormones, I guess, so they use these. They say it don’t do nothing to the milk. And they got them rubbers, you know, for men and for women. And little caps, too. Lots of ways to keep from havin’ babies these days, ain’t there?
But this Mirena, it seems popular. They say it’s easy. Just put it in and forget about it. And it helps with them heavy monthly bleeds, too. Some women, they bleed somethin’ awful. This thing can help with that, I hear. So that’s somethin’ to think about.
If you’re thinkin’ ’bout this Mirena IUD thing, you best read up on it. There’s probably all sorts of stuff written about it. Like what’s good about it, what’s bad about it. You gotta know these things, ya know? Don’t want no surprises.
They got all sorts of fancy words for this stuff. Mechanism, benefits, side effects. Just means how it works, what’s good about it, and what might go wrong. Like I said, gotta know these things.
And them doctors, they gotta talk to you ’bout it, too. They call it Mirena counseling. They gotta make sure you’re the right person for this thing. Can’t just give it to anyone, I reckon. Gotta check you out first.
I heard it’s made of somethin’ called levonorgestrel. Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? That’s the medicine in it. And it’s a contraceptive, which is just a fancy word for somethin’ that stops babies from comin’. It’s put inside ya, in your womb. They call that intrauterine. So it’s an intrauterine contraceptive, or IUD for short.
- Mirena stops babies.
- It can help with heavy bleedin’.
- It’s got medicine in it.
- You can use it when you’re nursing.
- But you gotta talk to a doctor.
They say this Mirena thing is better than them other IUDs, the Kyleena ones, I think, when talkin’ ’bout how long it works. But they both works real good, ya know, over 99% good, they say. Like I said, that’s pretty darn good.
Now, they used to have these other things, these copper ones, called Paragard, the Copper T 380A. They don’t have no medicine in ’em, just copper. Some folks like them better. Everyone’s different, I guess. But all these things do the same job, keepin’ babies away.
This Mirena is made of soft somethin’, not hard and pokey. So that’s good, I reckon. Don’t want nothin’ hard and pokey in there.
They say the indications, meanin’ when you should use it, is for stoppin’ babies, and for that heavy bleedin’. So if you got those problems, this might be for you. But again I say, talk to your doctor, they are the ones who can help ya decide, if it is good for ya.
So, that’s what I heard ’bout this Mirena and nursing. Sounds like it’s a good thing for some folks. But you gotta do your homework, talk to your doctor, and make sure it’s right for you. Don’t just jump into things, ya know? Be smart about it. These are important things, ya know. Your body, your health, your babies. Gotta be careful with these things. Ain’t nothin’ more important than that.
