birth control
"I am a 47 year old female. I tried the birth control pill and it raised my blood pressure too high. My GYN suggested Mirena.  I read the reviews and warnings and was nervous but agreed. It has been over 6 months and here is my take;
1. Having it put in was ridiculously easy and not worth any concern
2. Very pleased with not worrying about pregnancy.
3. Periods are normal but extremely light.
4. Some cramping after sex - some light bleeding after sex. No biggy.
5. Had to have the strings cut shorter for my partner - he cannot even notice it now.
6. The only downside I have had is an increase in acne AND on the days I get my period I am very moody (I never had this before so I know it is a side effect).
7. Cost 100.00"
