I got the Mirena because I felt it would be a good idea to use a birth control whereas I would not have to worry about getting pregnant since I wanted to continue pursuing my career. I am also 26. My OB stated that this was the birth control that reigns supreme over the rest. The OB stated that it was hardly any side effects and I should try it and I did. This is when ALL HELL BROKE LOSE. I had side effects immediately but did not link it to Mirena at first. Those side effects were acne(never even had it high school), acne underneath my neck, breast got bigger(from a G to a H)---thanks Mirena. I spotted for the first month and went through 15 underwear like it was no other. Did i forget to mention the worst side effects--15 pounds of weight gain within two months(I even got on an all vegetable & fruit diet) ANNNNNND my vagina had an odor (I always prayed that noone would sit by me). I felt my vagina was on fire and noone could extinguish the flames. Strangely, I always took pregnant tests because Mirena made you and your body think that it was pregnant. Yep, so exactly 2 months later, I made an appointment to take the hell out of me. It has been 2 days and I don't have the pregnant feel like I once did. I still possess all the rest of the side effects . The Mirena needs to be retested because it shows false information about the side effects.
