I am glad it's working for you, Sheila, and glad of the additional info on side effect incidence, Alicia. I do realize, too, that it's mostly the negative that shows up on the interwebs about drugs. When I had my six-month-long experience of interferon+ribavirin for hepatitis C, I stopped reading the bulletin boards, etc., Arianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057310809123193387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812254188016088546.post-16237820092001840622010-09-30T08:54:32.161-07:002010-09-30T08:54:32.161-07:00Awesome blog, Ariane.

And I totally appreciate the decision you made, but as someone who works in the 'biz' I thought I should just point out that many (or all) of those side effects may never happen to you. The main thing to look for is 'incidence' of those side effects.

Here we are 10 months later and I LOVE it. So happy I made the switch from BCP to the Mirena. I can say not just low flow... no flow at all. I haven't experienced any noticeable side effects.Sheilanoreply@blogger.com
