"i had the mirena put in a little over 3 years ago after my second son was born. i loved it for a long time despite the fact that i couldn&#039;t lose weight. i didn&#039;t gain any weight but i couldn&#039;t lose weight regardless of what i did. i never had a period either which was great. for about a year though i have been extremely moody, i have anxiety, i got painful cystic acne on my face, neck, even on my head. i am recently experiencing bloating and cramping. i go to get my iud taken out in a week."
