Birth Control
"I had the mirena in for a little over 5 years. I spotted every now and then the first couple months but my doctor prescribed me estrogen to take for about a week to stop the bleeding. After that I was ok. I&#039;ve never had problems with depression untIl about two years ago. I was low in energy, didn&#039;t want to do much and I gained 25lbs in the last year. My hair also started coming out. At first I thought the depression, hair loss, and weight gain was just me but after reading other comments I see that it wasn&#039;t. I just got mine removed today and it&#039;s such a relief. I&#039;m going to give my body a rest to normalize itself  before I opt for the pill which is what I had my doctor prescribe me."
