Birth Control
"I got the Mirena on November 16th, 2017 and just got it removed today (June 8th, 2017).  The insertion was extremely painful. In November when I first got it I weighed in at 116 lbs at 5&#039;3, after 6 months I weighed in today at 131.4 lbs. This was without a doubt a result of the Mirena. In addition, I experienced horrible cramps for 3 weeks every month, my digestion was off all of the time, worsening acne, water retention, increased appetite, extreme bloating, a rash/hives all over my chest, lowered sex drive, sex was very painful and would restart my period, the skin on my nipples started to peel and I could feel it poking inside of me 24/7. I hated it, I won&#039;t recommend this to anyone."
