Mirena

After being recommended this form of contraception for my bad periods, i was disappointed when it took 9 months to actually stop bleeding. I also had to have a scan to find the coil as when I had my 6 week check up the nurse couldn’t locate it. Everything turned out to be OK and I was told to give it time in regards to the constant heavy bleeding. I gave it 1 year, and I gained 1stone in weight and suffered terrible acne (I have never suffered with acne before!) My periods did eventually stop all together after around 10 months but the other side effects persuaded me to get it removed anyway. Once I swapped to the combined pill my skin went back to normal although I am now suffering with heavy periods again.
