So far I've had this for about a month and some change and I love it! Made my period significantly less painful this time around ❤️

Irregular cycles. Mood swings, fatigue, brain fog and headaches seem to correlate to menstrual cycle. Effective birth control but still unsure if symptoms are related to Mirena or independent migraine, thyroid or other issues.
