"in my experience, the mirena was not for me. i was not able to lose weight, i gained weight, with only having it for 6 months. sex was good, but not what it used to be. it felt like it was poking me. i was aware of the bleeding and how it will be, but it&#039;s been 6 months and i am bleeding every week for 4-5 days! did not like this. i am getting this out.
