Birth Control
"I highly do NOT recommend this method of birth control. Yes it is effective but in my opinion the side effects greatly outweigh the benefits. I had the insert placed November of 2013 and plan to get it removed as soon as possible. I have had extremely irregular periods and when I do happen to have one it lasts for 3 weeks. I have also developed ovarian cysts for the first time in my life. I gained 30 pounds in 3 months which is significant weight gain for me at the age of 21 years old. Also I developed pregnancy symptoms such as weird cravings and loss of appetite. I do not recommend this and do not think it is a good form of birth control considering the side effects."
