1. No more awful periods
Wave goodbye to stained sheets and painful cramps.
2. No more pregnancy scares
The Mirena is 99% successful.
3. No upkeep
The Mirena IUD only needs to be changed once every 5 years.
4. No cost
If you have Harvard health insurance, you can get a Mirena IUD for free. If you have another health insurance, you probably can too, if not for a reduced price.
5. You can have it removed whenever you want
If the Mirena isn’t right for you, you can have it removed at any time.
