I am a mother of 5 children.I have used the patch got pregnant had the ring got pregnant , so my doctor recommended using the mirena instead of my tubes being tied. So ive had it in for about 9 months and I swear im losing my mind i feel like im insane!! I am angry and short fused all the time and the next minute im crying. So just reading the side effects some women have had I've finally figured it out.Also I was quite happy when the doctor said my period may go away well it has just recently but no im scared I may be pregnant!! NEVER will recommend to anyone to gt the MIRENA
