"i had the mirena for almost 2 years. i got it thinking that my periods would stop and i wouldn&#039;t have to worry about taking the pill everyday. well my periods never stopped actually they lasted longer and were heavier. i experienced migraines every month and severe mood swings, and acne, i hardly ever had break outs before. i had it taken out and within a few days i had already felt better. i hope this helps other women make decisions about birth control easier."
