Birth Control
"I was on Mirena after my son was born. I kept having bad side effects for over a year including getting very bad ovarian cysts. I was originally on Microgestin 1/20 and I did notice a big improvement with the cysts and how bad my cramps were during period. Then I started to get a bald spot on my scalp. Contacted Dr just to be told that it&#039;s normal and to give it a few weeks. This was like 6 months after starting pill. Dr then changed it to 1.5/30. Hair did start growing back but I couldn&#039;t wear my hair up for several weeks. I haven&#039;t gained any more weight than before starting the pill but am struggling to lose weight. I&#039;ve read tons of bad reviews but for me this is 10 better than the sides effects I had from Mirena."
