    Birth control?

    I currently have the Mirena IUD, which I've really enjoyed since I don't have to think about birth control at all or remember to take anything. It's due to come out this fall, and I'm wondering what type(s) of birth control are good for MS. I recently read somewhere that IUDs are not preferred because inflammation in the uterus. My husband and I want to have kids in a few years, so I can't use anything too permanent/drastic.
