"well, i had the merena for over 2 years, and the great thing about it is that i never had a period and i didn&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant. the worse part was is that i had a terrible, terrible odor constantly, i&#039;m the type of person who showers daily, and it was embarrassing. also, i was never in the &quot;mood&quot; to have sex.  so i decided to get it removed and it has been over 6 months now and i have had absolutely no odor and my &quot;mood&quot; toward sex has changed a lot, for the better. everyone is different and it is pretty much a see and try for yourself kind of thing."
