Birth Control
"I think Mirena is a bit of a hit or miss based on comments and personal experience. I had the Cooper IUD for 10 years - no problems and no periods. Then switched to Mirena at doctor&#039;s suggestion. No problems with insertion followed by no periods or side effects. When 5 years were up on 2-6-15, I had a new one replaced the same day as old one removed. I still have no periods, but the insertion of this one was excruciating. I broke out in a cold sweat when I tried to get up and had to lie back down another 15 minutes, even after lying there about 15 minutes initially.Now, daily headaches and extreme moodiness. First time, I&#039;d rate 10. This time, not happy. I&#039;m having it removed 4-10-15-will report later if this helps side effects."
