"i had it put in after the birth of my second child.  the insertion was extremely painful.  since having it put in i have experienced multiple infections which can only be attributed to the device.  i also have had a change in mood and behavior, which was never an issue prior to mirena.  i chose to have it removed.  i am happily married and would much rather get pregnant than deal with all of the side effects from mirena. this is by far the worst form of birth control.  it&#039;s only good for five years if you can stand it for that long."
