"my experience was very mixed. i have to say it was effective in preventing pregnancy and not having to worry about taking a pill was wonderful. however, i spent one month on my period and sometimes one month off, usually 2-3 weeks off. that&#039;s really effective in preventing pregnancy when you&#039;re constantly on your period. oh and the mood swings? terrible. i couldn&#039;t even stand to be around myself. it also killed my sex drive and made me tired all the time. just a warning to potential users. it&#039;s not all peachy and period free! two months post removal i&#039;m finally starting to feel like myself again."
