birth control
"Had my Mirena fitted when I was 29 after my third child, and has been in place for threeish years. When it was fitted in 2009 my doctor fitted it, she was brilliant and quick and numbed the area with gel. Took pain killers before and after it was fitted and bled for a few days and took two months for my periods to stop and very light, now I get spotting every four, five months for a few days. Had no problems with it, no side effects although I have read bad reviews with abdominal and breast pain, depression, no sex drive acne all sorts. I already get acne but not got any worse, I have lost a stone. And am very happy with my Mirena and I forget I have half the time."
