Mirena and other ones

I have always been afraid of birth control pills (weight gain, hormonal stuff) so I got the Mirena. I had it removed about 6 months ago after having it for the full 5 years and LOVED it!!! I thought I'd try the pill since so many people say that it's good. But then I got online and read some of the issues with the pill. Scared me to death, everyone on the site gave horror stories about it. I decided to go online and look up Mirena (which I loved) and see if people had horror stories with it too, and yes they do. I think everyones body is just different and what works for one person doesn't work for another. I never had any of the symptoms mentioned on this site except one: no periods. Wahoo! That's a good thing. If you are completely freaked out after reading the posts, read mine. I love. love, love the Mirena. Had no troubles with it at all. There are women out there who have it and love it. Me and my 3 sisters to name a few.
