IUD's: Mirena or Paragard ?

I have a consult with my OBGYN on Tuesday to discuss IUD's.

Apparently there is the hormonal Mirena and the Copper Paragard?

Any suggestions or advice on which one you personally have?

 I am on my 3rd year of the Mirena.  I think I might try the paragard next if my husband doesnt get neutered before then.  I just got used the Mirena now.  At the year point- i almost had it removed.  It felt like I had post partum... took Prozac for a bit.... (found out I was Vit D deficient- so stopped) moody, I would only have periods 8-9 months, when i did it is hell.  

I recently got the copper paragard. 

my doctor and I came to this decision together based on my age and situation with the RNY.  

He thought something non-hormonal would be better for me since I'm losing weight and my hormones are crazy already due to the wls. 

I've never had any children, so I wont lie... the insertion was painful and I was in that lucky 1% where it didn't end up in the right spot, so I had to have it adjusted...  but that was a week ago and I haven't had any problems since.  

Plus... this one can last for 10 years .... which is great because my philosophy is "An empty uterus is a happy uterus"

I've had the copper paraguard for a few years now and I think it's great! It was only a $100 or so, lasts 10 years, and it doesn't mess with your hormones, so if you want to have a baby, you can have it removed and you're good to go! I have 1 kid so far, but I hope to have another one someday. Now that I'm hopefully going to have RNY, I'm SO glad I went this route. The only real downside I've found is that my periods are bad, like my 2nd and 3rd days are just aweful! But I get through it.

i've had paragard for 3 years now and i love it. only difference is shorter but heavier periods, a little bit more cramping each month. neither are terrible and i'm happy to compromise in exchange for the lack of extra hormones & pregnancy prevention efficiancy.

 how did you appointment go kaila? i think i may talk about it in the spring now when i go, especially if i'm still with this guy, because the nuvaring made sex hurt for me at first, and he said it irritated him a lot so we decided it comes out from now on which is gonna be a pain
