Birth Control
"I have tried every single BC method available and Mirena is by far the worst. My strings disappeared about 6 months after insertion, had to get an ultrasound. OBGYN said it was fine, but from then on I had no strings to check (as they recommend you do once a month to make sure it&#039;s still in place). I let it go because the benefits were still outweighing the negatives.

Then I started getting just about every side effect imaginable. Mood swings, zero sex drive, acne for the first time in my ENTIRE life, weight gain that I cannot lose, non stop spotting for the entire 5 years. I honestly don&#039;t know how I made it 5 years. My doctor had the nerve to say I was &quot;exaggerating&quot; my side effects, but now without mirena I&#039;m so much better!"
