birth control
"Well I am a very busy 25 yr old mother of one cute boy, thus the pill was not an option for me since I know that I would forget to take it. Mirena was the best option for me. I have had it for 5 months now and trust me I love it but I have experienced side effects. I have gained a substantial about of weight since the insertion and the bloating happens often. Mirena does it's job well but I can not tolerate the weight gain. I will be removing it within two weeks and I know with my vigorous workout schedule and healthy eating habit I will be returning to my normal weight quickly. Then I'll get the Mirena again. I wouldn't consider Mirena to anyone who has had struggled with their weight and have more than fifteen pounds to lose. Good Luck."
