"i have had my mirena in for a little over a year. i love having the mirena in because i&#039;m all about convenience. i don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill, or getting a shot. i love not having a period. i had a not so pleasant experience with the insertion of it. but that doesn&#039;t happen often to people. i am on the fence about taking it out. i have gained 21lbs in a year. my acne is bad. i am tired often. everyone&#039;s body is different. i know friends who have not had these problems. i like the mirena it just isn&#039;t a good fit for me."
