Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I&#039;ve had Mirena for almost 4 years. I&#039;ve had no luck with oral birth control. Low estrogen and progesterone only pills kill my sex drive. Higher estrogen pills make my breasts too sore. Unfortunately, I have stage 4 endometriosis and heavy, extremely painful periods due to cysts. I decided to try Mirena after surgery to prevent any further cysts. I&#039;ve stuck it out for 4 years, but Mirena is in the category of hormones that have killed my sex drive. I haven&#039;t had sex in 4 years for lack of interest. I&#039;ve realized that, although I never want to go through the pain of endometriosis and ovarian cysts again, giving up any chance at a relationship and being a sexual person is probably not worth it. But its so much easier to use than bc pills."
