"i have had this iud for about 9 months, and i want to give it a good review, but i can&#039;t. at first i absolutely loved it. i have always had really painful periods, and within the first 2 months my period basically stopped. i&#039;ve only had 2 very light ones since. i haven&#039;t had any pain from it, no changes to my sex drive, and i don&#039;t have to think about it.

but...

after i had my son i was 10lbs less than my pre-preg weight, but after i had the mirena put in i gained those 10lbs back, and have been battling to keep it at just 10. on top of that i&#039;ve had acne like never before in my life, and have recurring yeast infections (which i almost never got before).

it took me a while to put it all together, but i&#039;ve decided that i need to get it out."
