"i had the mirena inserted after failed birth control resulted in my fourth and fifth children, whom i adore and wouldn&#039;t trade for anything!



i decided i would not even think about the bleeding until six months after insertion. i have had the mirena for more than eight months.



this insertion did not feel uncomfortable to me at all.



my hands and feet tingle.

my mood is variable.

i don&#039;t care much for sex.

i was bleeding every single day for the first 5 months.

i now bleed for at least two weeks of every month.

i have increased two dress sizes.

i now have intermittent acne.



this is not for me."
