"i had the mirena inserted about 4 years ago, after my second child was born. getting it put in i had minor pain, no worse than normal menstrual cramps. however, my hormones have been super crazy. i go from normal to upset, mad, crying within seconds. i&#039;ve never had this issue prior to children or the mirena. i&#039;ve seen mental health counselors in fear i was losing my mind....however it&#039;s been boiled down to the birth control. after numerous hormone testing and blood tests i&#039;ve decided to get it taken out early. i hate feeling like i have no control over my emotions."
