I had bad symptoms from the Mirena IUD. I think I'm the exception and not the majority though. I had bad cramps, spotted irregularly (had to always wear panty liner), started getting acne in my back (yucky). It's covered under most insurance companies and if your body reacts well to it, it's very convenient... they say most symptoms go away after a few months. I had mine 2 years and they never went away. Not sure why I didn't have it removed sooner. Ha. Goodluck to you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
