I'm 33 this year and have been using Mirena for 4 years 8 months after having my 2nd child. The insertion was a bit painful and I felt cramps after that, but it didn't last long and was bearable. The initial stage I had irregular periods and after about 6 months, the period has been stabilized and the flow was less which is a convenient thing for most women. I am planning to get my 2nd insertion soon as the first one is going to be due soon. However, since last week, I experienced sore breas... View full comment

This is a great idea. Gardasil is reported to cause a wide range of possible side effects including possible breast cancer, insomnia, fever and swelling. Everyone taking this vaccine should take this survey and monitor the results- even better pass them on to Merck or the FDA

I have been on Mirena since November of 2009 and I have never been so disappointed in my life. I am not a person that usually writes on these blogs and bashes products, because I believe that every person is different and reacts differently to medications! But OH MY GOSH! I have never been so moody in all of my life, I can't figure it out, I actually thought I was depressed, I am not! It is just uncontrolable mood swings! I have acne like I have never seen before, I have never had acne not ev... View full comment
