"i give mirena a 9/10 because for the year and a half i was on it i didn&#039;t get pregnant.  i did just have it removed because i felt like i was fatigued and i gained 20 lbs while on mirena.  it could be other things that caused these symptoms but since they started after i went on the birth control i chose to blame the birth control.

i had it removed 4/26/10 and the removal was simple and pain free.  i started to bleed two days later and it has been an inconsistent type of period.  it has been easy so far and i feel good about doing it.
