birth control
"I've had Mirena for almost a month now.  I am 33, had one vaginal birth.  The insertion is painful, but very manageable. I used to weight 112lbs, in less than 30 days I've gained 6 lbs. I got a crying fit within 24 hours of inserting Mirena.  I did not experience post-partum depression with my child and handled the divorce pretty well, so I know the depression is due to the Mirena.  Add a constant sense of bloating, cramps and back pain.  I have been spotting since the insertion too.  No normal period so far.  I also had an awful migraine that lasted 3 days.  In a couple of months, if the side effects don't improve, it must be removed."
