A member asked:

Do you know of side effects of using mirena (levonorgestrel)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minimal: The Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud is popular and an excellent form of birth control in the appropriately selected patient. Most women's concerns are related to spotting during the first few months, and mild cramping. These both go away in almost all women. Talk to your ob/gyn!
