"i am 21 with a child and am happy with just her. at least for now and i choose mirena because i heard nothing but good things about it and am very forgetful of the pill. but since i got it put in about a month and a half ago (which was very painful). i have gained weight like crazy. i have had a heavy period since, constant mood swings, feeling depressed, short of breath, tired, loss of sex drive (somewhat) it&#039;s just not as good because i feel dry, and a constant cramping that almost makes me want to get sick . so i am getting it removed as soon as i can. but this is just my own experience i have heard people absolutely love it but just like everything, its not for everyone."
