"i&#039;ve had the mirena iud for 5 months now and so far i&#039;ve loved it!! i haven&#039;t had any weight gain or acne symptoms that everyone talks about in their reviews. i bled for maybe three days after the procedure and haven&#039;t had a period since. the procedure sucks but its bearable. it felt like intense cramping for maybe a minute then it&#039;s over. i suggest taking 800mg of ibuprofen before and after because i did have cramps and dizziness for the whole day. i switched to mirena from oral bc because oral bc made me absolutely crazy (crying at every little thing, irrational, emotional, blowing up at people for no reason, ect) ladies don&#039;t let the reviews scare you because every body reacts differently.. you truly have to try it out for yourself!!"
