Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on birth control for a while now due to horrendous cramps and excessively heavy cycles. And I&#039;ve always been an anti-kid-having lady so hey it works for me. So I ended up switching from the nuva ring (which I loved) to the Mirena. I&#039;m not going to complain about pain because we&#039;re all different and to be honest, it really wasn&#039;t terrible, a little discomfort. But I&#039;ve had my Mirena for a little over 2 years now and I&#039;ve gained 40-50 pounds with no change in diet, I have absolutely no energy for anything (I work and go to school full time), and I&#039;m recently married with no sex drive. At first the Mirena was a God send, no period, no pill, no hassle or worries. But now I&#039;m counting down the days this evil thing is gone."
