birth control
"I am 27 married with one child who is 7.  I had my first Mirena inserted at my 6 week check up after his birth.  The first 5 years of use was amazing.  The insertion did not hurt at all as well as not having the normal cramping and spotting after insertion. I haven't had a period since. My problems have come from the new Mirena. I had inserted 2 years ago. I have had significant weight gain, anxiety, my hair has changed texture, my skin is oily, and the mood swings are horrid.  I wish this time around was as good as the first. I hope this will help others because I feel like I am going crazy and now I know it is not just me."
