"i got the mirena after my son was born. while i was using the mirena i had no periods at all for the five years. now i have my tubes tied, my periods are coming back as bad as they were before i had kids. sometimes i can&#039;t even move the first day of my period...so my doc. told me i can go back and get the mirena put back in! i go next week for this and i can&#039;t wait! i hope it goes as smoothly as it did the first time i had it, never had any problems except maybe weight gain but i don&#039;t know if it was due to the birth control or not."
