contraception for new moms
A national survey conducted last year by the Emory University School of Medicine confirms that the baby-on-board
crowd already knows: New moms want birth control that's effective and hassle-free, allows for spontaneity and provides long-term protection.
Filling the bill beautifully: Mirena, an innovative IUD that's made of flexible plastic, which may make it easier to insert
and remove than the traditional Copper-TIUD. Mirena contains no
estrogen (so it's safe for nursing moms), is more than 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy, lasts up to five years and has
minimum side effects. By delivering a low dose of the progestin levonorgestrel, Mirena can actually make a woman's period shorter and
lighter over time. insertion takes just minutes in a doctor's office, and the device can be easily removed at any time, at which point
fertility quickly returns to pre-insertion status. Mirena is easy on the wallet, too,
averaging less than $8 a month when you keep in in for the full five years. Ideal candidates are women in monogamous relationships
with at least one child and no history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or ectopic pregnancy.
