Birth Control
"I had Mirena put in in January of 2015 and I have an appointment to get it taken out next week. I&#039;m really upset that this didn&#039;t work for me. I have always used the pill but after a while I decided to try something new. The insertion was pretty simple and it didn&#039;t hurt that much. The cramping was very mild. After a few months I still felt really crampy but I held out hope that it would subside. It never did. I&#039;m a fairly active person; going to the gym at least 4 times per week and I still managed to gain 35 pounds since the insertion. I also would get crippling migraines, mood swings that lead to serious bouts of depression, my sex drive is pretty much nonexistent. Mirena has been extremely effective the side effects were just too much."
