"I had Mirena inserted April 2011 6 months after I gave birth to my first child &amp; still have it today. To avoid periods, birth contraceptive without weight gain it really works &amp; highly recommend it for that. Otherwise, I just recently started experiencing the bad side effects which makes me think about removing it. Since a couple months ago, I first started bleeding which seemed like my period, &amp; since then it&#039;s been non-stop but gradually turns darker, so now I have continuous brown discharge. Every time I sit on the toilet, I have to wait a couple minutes until the brown discharge comes out. Secondly, I&#039;ve been having really bad mood swings. There&#039;s no in between. Either I&#039;m happy or I&#039;m so frustrated, it&#039;s really bad to be around me."
