Birth Control
"DON&#039;T GET THE MIRENA IUD. I wanted to love the Mirena, I really did. I&#039;m 23, no kids &amp; wanted a low maintaince birth control. Insertion &amp; initial cramping were pretty bad but thats normal. I liked my IUD for the first year or so. Didn&#039;t gain weight like I did on the pill &amp; no real side effects. But my love for the IUD turned to hatred when I discovered it had given me an OVARIAN CYST. I started having an excruciating pain deep in my abdomen. The pain was right next to my hip bone and was unlike ANY pain I&#039;ve ever had. It would radiate down my leg &amp; up my back. Some days I couldn&#039;t even stand up or go to work. Finally got an ultrasound and discovered it was a cyst so now its out and I feel SO much better. Please don&#039;t get the Mirena!!"
