birth control
"I had the Mirena inserted after failed birth control resulted in my fourth and fifth children, whom I adore and wouldn't trade for anything!



I decided I would not even think about the bleeding until six months after insertion. I have had the Mirena for more than eight months.



This insertion did not feel uncomfortable to me at all.



My hands and feet tingle.

My mood is variable.

I don't care much for sex.

I was bleeding every single day for the first 5 months.

I now bleed for at least two weeks of every month.

I have increased two dress sizes.

I now have intermittent acne.



This is NOT for me."
