Birth Control
"I had my 1st child in November 2014 and got Mirena January  2015. I spotted for the 1st month and a half. I&#039;ve had cramping, no sex drive, lack if energy, acne, hair itching, and gained 20 pounds in 4 months. I finally got Mirena removed today 6/17/2015 and I already feel better. No cramps I&#039;ve been able to work from 5 am to 130 go to the gym, go shopping, and play with my baby without fatigue. The RN was giving me a hard time and stating my research is wrong and Mirena doesn&#039;t make women gain weight due to such low hormones but I told her everyone&#039;s body is different, and this was not the right birth control for me. I told her even all my coworkers that have it right now are experiencing the same issues so what does that tell you? She acted like she had an attitude because she couldn&#039;t talk me out of removing it, but I don&#039;t care it&#039;s my body my choice. I hope that this helps someone. If this is what it costs to not have a period I&#039;d rather have mines!"
