birth control
"I read a lot of the reviews and there aren't any from people that have had it for the entire 5 years!  I am going in Friday to have one removed and a new one put it.  I've been reading the reviews because I wanted to see what it is like when the remove it because I'm kind of a wimp. I love love love Mirena though!  No periods, no trying to remember to take a pill every day! I LOST 45 pounds - not because of Mirena, mind you - since I've had Mirena so weight gain was determinately not a side effect for me.  I would and AM doing it again!"
