Mirena

Had the mirena fitted to try and deal with a headache which would last for almost two weeks (starting a few days before the period, continuing throughout and for days after the period), and really heavy periods. It was lifechanging! I’m now on my second one, 9 years on. First one had 0 side effects, no periods, no headaches, no weight gain, nothing. Bliss. Second one the same for 3.5/4 years – now I’m getting a little bit of spotting and a little emotional at the same time, but I’ve been told this is due to the hormones running low as it’s due for replacement soon. Overall, I couldn’t fault the mirena.
