Mirena iud

💓 • Momma w a 13 month old 💙

So I have an appt to get the mirena iud in two weeks. After setting up the appt I talked to my sister who told me her friend had major issues with this iud and actually had to get surgery to get it taken out. I looked up reviews online and all of them are pretty bad. Saying it made them gain a lot of weight, made them depressed, the iud got misplaced, just a lot of bad things and now I'm really nervous to go in and get it put in. Does anyone have the mirena and like it? I dont know if I should cancel my appointment and get some other form of birth control, I feel like if I got it put in now after reading all the horror stories (which is almost every review I've read) I'm going to be super scared something bad is going to happen all the time like it being misplaced or something.
