birth control
"I got the mirena in Jan 2015 and had remove it by July 2015. As a contraceptive it worked. I used to be on the pill and I put on 20kg with it. I came off it and got the mirena and couldn't lose weight whilst on it. So although I didn't put weight on whilst on mirena, I feel like if I hadn't taken the pill before, the mirena prob would've been the culprit to make me put on weight. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone, don't do it.



The side effects I experienced:

- spotting everyday/random periods completely irregular overall

- bad headaches

- extremely bloated

- couldn't lose weight 

- moodiness and emotional 

- periods never went back to normal after mirena- they've been irregular for past year despite being hormone free!"
