birth control
"I have been on the mirena for a little over 2 years. I experienced a lot of irregular bleeding for the first few months but by 6 months I no longer had any bleeding at all. I have been almost 2 years without needing tampons and I love it! I love the mirena because there isn't any mess; I don't have to remember to take a pill or put on a patch, and I love how effective it is. It is also much cheaper in the long run. Now for the side effect. I have become increasingly aware that I have extreme mood swings more frequently. I just thought that I was depressed by life events but lately it has been more of a roller coaster of manic mood swings. After some research I found this to be a common side effect. I am currently seeking ways to offset this"
