"I had it put in place in January of 2008 and I love the way I don&#039;t have to remember to take the pill.  The procedure was painless just don&#039;t look while it&#039;s inserted.  I have had horrible periods since though which is the only fall back but a big one.  I have periods for 3 weeks now and it&#039;s completely unexpected periods where before when I was on the pill I was regular.  Now I have to decide whether the long periods are worth it, to keep it in place."
