Birth Control
"I&#039;ve had it 5 months now, and I am getting it out next week. I&#039;ve had some CRAZY side effects on this thing, the doctor swears it&#039;s local hormone release so Mirena can&#039;t be the problem, but its the only thing that&#039;s changed in my life. Insertion sucked but it wasn&#039;t unbearable, I had severe cramping after insertion. Since I&#039;ve been on it I&#039;ve had a decrease/change in libido, continual spotting, almost constant cramping, headaches every day, mood swings, increased levels of depression, a ridiculous flare up in acne, lower back pain, and achy/dry eyes (I wear contact lenses and I&#039;ve never had this problem until the IUD). Doctor did not discuss any potential side effects with me before inserting."
