birth control
"I had my Mirena put in a year and a half ago. I have two kids but didn't want to commit to getting my tubes tied so I decided to go with Mirena and at first it was great, my periods got lighter. Over time I noticed I put on about 5 lbs which wasn't bad but then it was another 5 then another. Its been very gradual but for the life of me I just can't lose it and I continue to gain weight. Other then the weight gain I've started breaking out, not just on my face but on my chest and back. All in all I love not having a heavy period or having to take the pill everyday but I have decided to get it removed since I haven't been able to counteract the side effects I've had."
