birth control
"I have had Mirena in for 1 year and 9 months. I have a positive experience so far. I got it put in place 2 months after having my son. When I first got it in, it did not really hurt. I kind of feel that I have had weight gain from it (after having my son, I lost 20-25 lbs right off the bat). I gained all the weight back, I had lost and plus 10 lbs more, despite exercising a lot and eating right. I've also had a little discomfort with sex (only recently) I have also notice that when I should be bleeding, I only get cramping.  I only had about 2 months of regular periods. I really find this method of birth control great, except for the few side effects. I plan on getting the Mirena out in October, to see if the side effects go away."
