"i&#039;ve had mirena for 3 months now. i had inserted to control extremely heavy menstrual bleeding. well the bleeding is no longer heavy, however i&#039;m spotting and also having weird discharge everyday. the insertion was a little uncomfortable and some pain for about two days afterwards. i gained about 10lbs the 1st month but i&#039;ve controlled it since and lost all 10lbs. the 1st month my acne was horrible but that decreased in the 3rd month. i called my doctor and asked to have it removed, i&#039;d rather have the heavy bleeding for 7 days than to have light bleeding every day for a month. she prescribed a pill for 10days that did not work at all. i want to hang in there like many have, but all the side effects are about to drive me crazy."
