"this birth control has been okay for me. i am switching to an iud next month after being on mononessa for 1 1/2 years.
pros: decreased acne, regular period, decreased cramps during period, lighter/slightly shorter period, no weight gain, no pregnancy
cons: crazy mood swings, decreased sex drive, dryness, other medications lower the effectiveness, bad migraines during my period
the migraines during my period were terrible the first 3-4 months, i assume because my body was reacting to the decrease in hormones. the main reason i am switching is the mood swings because mirena does not have estrogen. i used to be laid back and happy, but my mood has become crazy and very unpredictable. overall a good birth control, just not the right one for me."
