"had mierna for about 6 months. was told that it would help my cysts disappear and it had little to no side effects. it was a great thing being that i got pregant with my son while on the pill. this was 5 years, check string, no periods, and all that. well starting 2 months after having it in which would be july 2015 i started experiencing pain in my lower abdomen, back and my left leg/foot. it wasnt bad then every month from july 2015 until this month nov 2015 i was in more and more pain. no doctor could explain why. finally decided to have it removed a few days ago. best decision i made because the same day i started feeling better. all the pain was going away or gone. it&#039;s a good form of birth control but isnt for every women."
