5yr plan

Today I got the mirena. I didn't feel a thing, I was paying more attention to holding B's hand as he was starting to make a fuss right when Doc came in. They recommend getting it placed toward end of cycle and that's what I did. I chose the mirena because it's low dose estrogen and won't affect my lupus, it may end up helping it actually. Usually about 5-7days prior to my cycle my body aches in all my major joints, I think it is telling me ok C your period is coming and we don't like it! Well this said mirena is supposed to completely diminish cycles, which may diminish my monthly agonizing joint pains :) although this time/month wasnt as bad but I have also been wearing my new baltic amber necklace which for many centuries is said to be a natural anti inflammatory and analgesic? So anyways....no pills, no condoms, no spermicide, no diaphragm, no nuva rings, no implanon.....ive tried them all! also we are pretty sure we are done having kids, so this was reassurance for us. I was told I may have minor cramping, nothing as of tonight. I was a little run down, but maybe that's expected?!!? I'll be going back in a month to trim the string and make sure it is placed correctly.
