"i had mirena inserted 9 months ago, and it has been the worst experience. this iud will exacerbate stress, and i have periods for 10  days every month! i also noticed others were mentioning pain during intercourse and lack of libido: totally!!!!!!! it is awful! i have no desire or energy, and when we do, i have pain in my lower abdomen in certain positions. as for acne, it has increased! i haven&#039;t experienced any issues with weight, although i haven&#039;t been actively trying to lose, and i have a fast metabolism. i have spoken to others who are taking it, and 1/8 people i spoken to kept it in after a year. they also mentioned panic attacks, severe depression, and lack of energy... &quot;mood changes&quot; don&#039;t take if u already have anxiety issues!"
