birth control
"I had been experiencing probs with high blood pressure and melazma from the birth control patch. My doc advised me to use mirena. I am 30 and have 3 children, my doctor told me implanting the IUD would be uncomfortable but since I had kids it shouldn't be so bad. It was the most pain I have ever been in. Worse than my labor with all 3. They said it wouldn't last long, but I had to lie down in the office for 2 hours, until the office closed. The cramping continued for a couple days. I had stuck with it for about 6 months, but my face is breaking out like I am 15 (which I have never had a problem with) and I have had an awful discharge since I have had the IUD. I have had very very mild periods which is nice, but I plan on having it removed."
