birth control
"I am 24 and the mother of a 3 yr old. I have had Mirena for about 3 months now. Insertion was uncomfortable and I had cramping that could compare to mild contractions for the whole afternoon/night after. Since then I haven't really had any issues other than bleeding lightly off and on for the past 2 months but I haven't had to wear anything more than a panty liner. I have checked my Iron levels to make sure it wasn't effecting me and I was above average. I did notice mild mood swings in the beginning but they went away and I have also lost weight. I would recommend Mirena to others, I researched before I had the procedure done and I asked my doctor a lot of questions to make sure it was the right choice for me."
