My doctor mentioned none of the side effects you all have talked about (of course). I\'m in a real quandry here: I feel the need to be proactive in avoiding pregnancy by using a female contraceptive; however, I can\'t seem to find one that doesn\'t cause migraines or lubrication problems or loss of sex drive or weight gain, etc. Do you all think the side effects of Mirena are guaranteed to be bad enough that it\'s not worth the benefit of safety without migraines? If so, any alternatives you can suggest would be much appreciated!!!
