Birth Control
"Was in an unstable relationship and needed a preventative to avoid pregnancy. I went to my doctor and he suggested the Mirena. He explained that my periods might disappear for a while and it&#039;s %99 effective so it was a go for me. Thankfully the insertion wasn&#039;t very painful. Right afterwards I was told the bleeding and soreness was normal for the first several weeks. As told, the bleeding and pain eventually stopped but yeast infections, feminine odor, discharge and dryness became regular.  I also gained weight. The only good thing was that it was preventing pregnancy. After 2 years my relationship ended and I couldn&#039;t wait to get it out. My doctor is awesome, explained that those side effects were normal and took it out."
