Hi Tina,
I don't recommend the Mirena IUD because of the hormonal effects and other risks and side effects. Please check this out.

Perhaps you do not really need to be on birth control right now or perhaps you could use a non-hormonal birth control method. Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more that way.
Hope to hear from you soon.
