"so i&#039;ll be 28 in 2 months....i am getting skyla tomorrow, but, i&#039;ve had mirena, after my 2 nd daughter i decided to get mirena and it was the worst thing in the world....i was a major bitch i gained 20 lbs i was an emotional asshole and i bled non stop...i can not be on birth control because i have a blood mutation so any pill makes me higher risk for blood clots...i just had my 3rd child almost 2 years ago and i had been getting severe migraines and mood swings so i went to the doctor and asked her opinion, she said that skyla is a lower dose and it may be better for me because she thinks the mirena was too high of a hormone dose. but since i got mirena in 2009, you&#039;d think i&#039;d forget the insertion i didn&#039;t..it wasn&#039;t that bad and i&#039;m a baby."
