abnormal uterine bleeding
"Had mirena implanted 9 months ago for heavy bleeding & uterine fibroids. Bleeding has almost stopped but side effects are terrible. I have people asking me why i cant control my mood swings. Strange odour, no sex drive what so ever,  frequent headaches, frequent cramps in calf muscles, put on 7kgs since mirena was implanted. Doctor said to try this as removing my uterus is too drastic & only done as last resort. I have tried soo many other contraceptives, nothing else has worked but for me the side effects far outweigh the lack of bleeding. I want mirena taken out at my next gynaecology appointment."
