[|Human|] Hi can you tell me please if I have a mirena fitted for Birth control will it mean that I cant have children later on. Is it a sterilizer form of conraception. Also if I suffer from major depression is it advisable to have this type of conraception. is it better to have the injection deprovera every three months rather than the marina.
[|AI|]  Hi! Welcome to Chat Doctor ! Thanks for your query. IRENA is an Intrauterine System that releases a hormone to prevent conception. It is NOT a sterilizer form of contraception. It is reversible. When you want to have a baby, you get the IRENA removed, and you are ready for motherhood. IRENA releases the hormone levonorgesterol to prevent getting pregnant. This hormone can cause depressed mood. This occurs uncommonly though. More importantly, it can worsen mood and may contribute to feeling more emotional ups and downs. If you already have depression, and if the depression is not very well controlled, you may wish to look at other contraceptive solutions. You may need to make regular visits to your Psychiatrist for monitoring your mood while on IRENA. Injection Deprived is also a hormonal contraceptive. It could have the same effects on your mood as IRENA. I suggest you discuss your options of contraception with your Obstetrician or General Physician. Keep your Psychiatrist informed.  All the best.
