Birth Control
"I got the Mirena 6 months ago and had non-stop problems from the start. While the insertion went smoothly, I had terrible cramps for the next month. My periods got much worse (I never had heavy bleeding or cramps during my period). After one particularly bad cramping episode, I went to my doctor who, after a sonogram, found that the Mirena had worked its way into the lower part of my uterus (it seemed like my body was rejecting it). I also developed a 4cm ovarian cyst which is a listed side effect of the Mirena. I had the IUD taken out last week and I feel back to my normal self. I am not saying that Mirena isn&#039;t a good option, as I know many people that love it. It was DEFINITELY not right for me."
