Birth Control
"After experiencing horrid headaches during the placebo week of the pill, I opted for Mirena. I had been on the pill for 5 years. The insertion was painful, however, after a minute or two I felt no pain. There was light spotting for the first 2 weeks, but no spotting since (now 1.5 years in). I have had no periods since having Mirena inserted. I rarely think about the IUD. Every few months I&#039;ll get a brief cramp and remember &quot;oh yeah no more cramps, periods, or birth control pills!&quot; I did experience pretty bad hormonal acne along my jaw line, but this is because I was on the pill and went off it. If you rely on the pill for acne treatment be prepared to head back to the doctor for a topical treatment."
