Birth Control
"I had my first Mirena when I was 22, now I&#039;m 32 and working on getting my third one. I have never had children and I don&#039;t want to have any at all. Both insertions were very painful. The first time around, I was spotting and cramping for 4 months. I hated it to the point I wanted it removed, but decided to wait a little longer. I&#039;m glad I kept it! 4 months later, my periods are so light and almost nonexistent. Yes, my acne got worse, but it was because it got better when I was on the pill. I think my acne just went back to its pre-birth control levels. No mood swings, no more cramping, great birth control (10 years and not a single pregnancy or even a scare!) I recommend it, but I always say give it at least 4 months if you hate it."
