So, it's officially been a year that I've been with my beloved Mirena. She sits comfortably in my uterus. Keeping me from prematurely making decisions I am not ready for such as: baby making.
For those of you who don't know a Mirena is an IUD ( IntraUterine Device). It is a common contraceptive in the form of a small device inserted into your cervix that releases a hormone into your body that prevents you from having babies! Another cool fact about it is that it last for 3-5 years! For some, it doesn't work, but for me it does.
I never wanted children. As a girl, it wasn't my dream. I never had anything against kids. I just really never got super excited about being a mom. Who knows what happened, but after I got my IUD inserted, I miraculously caught baby fever. Then my husband deployed and I got the baby PLAGUE! It is so bad! When he was here I would just fool myself into thinking I actually want a tiny human to be growing in my body! FYI: I ACTUALLY DON'T WANT KIDS RIGHT NOW. I repeat: I DO NOT WANT KIDS AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME (defintely later, just not now), but call it the hormones or my husband's stunning good looks, but I always have the urge to get pregnant.
Anyways, either way it goes, whether I really wanted a baby or not is irrelevant because my IUD is in there baby blocking like Bush dodged that shoe.
It has saved me multiple times and will continue to save me for another 4 years! I love it and if you want to know about having it inserted, click here!
