Oh Mirena........

After I had Mason, 4 1/2 years ago, the cool thing to do was to get a Mirena. They were still fairly new so I didn't know a whole lot about it, other than I wouldn't have to worry about birth control for 5 YEARS!!!! Sold! I loved the thought of that! And it has been very nice. Now, it is time to think about what the next step is. Do I get another one? Does Steven get a vasectomy? Do we just play the odds and maybe have another baby? I hate making decisions! And this is a doosey of one! I started looking online about complications from having it and from getting it removed. Wow! I wish I could have read all of it 5 years ago. I am showing a lot of the same symptoms that these other women are from having it, I just never thought that my having a Mirena was the cause of them. Like weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, and moodiness. Now that I know that it is causing all of these things, why on Earth would I want another one? But it has been so nice to not worry about if we were careful enough or if I took a pill. And a little part of me would like to get pregnant again, but I don't know. Then I would have another child to feed, clothe, and raise. That kinda scares me. All I can do is have faith that God will tell us what decision to make.
