birth control
"I am 21 years old and have a 3 year old daughter. I had Mirena placed a month postpartum. It was great at first. I had the dizziness and cramping after placement but a few hours and it was gone. I had my last period in December of 08, which has been great but the negative effects out number the 2 good effects. (No periods and no unwanted pregnancy) I have had Mirena for just over 3 years now and I feel like crap. I have bad mood swings, nausea, abdominal pains so severe sometimes I want to cry, headaches at least 3 times a week, weight gain, bloating (badly) and extreme tiredness. I didn't want to believe it is my Mirena because it works so well, but the worse my symptoms get, the more difficult it is not to blame Mirena. Getting it removed!"
