"i&#039;ve had mirena in for a little over a year now. i&#039;m 20 now. when i first got it, it was so painful and the pain did not stop there. i had severe cramps and pains for about 2 weeks after i got it put in. after the pain stopped, i loved mirena! i haven&#039;t had a period at all in 9 months, the best thing ever. then i noticed i gained about 15lbs, and i&#039;m normally really skinny without having to lift a finger. then i started to get acne all over my back! i never got acne on my back and now it&#039;s everywhere. i have had some pains in my side! they are so painful. i had to pull over my car sometimes because they would get so bad. i&#039;m getting mirena out."
