birth control
"I had my Mirena put in about 3-4 months ago. I have few very tolerable symptoms, which was awesome because I had horrible symptoms on the pill. I had lost 10lbs prior to Mirena, but gained the 10 back. Not sure if IUD or diet affected that. I get a few blemishes more than normal, but nothing too noticeable. It hurt a bit when they were placing it but was definitely worth it. I had my period for the 1st month, then have had light spotting once a month. I still get minor menstrual cramps though. Overall, I am very pleased with this method because I am too busy to remember a pill everyday and I don't feel comfortable wearing patches or rings."
