"i at first thought this would be a good &quot;3 year plan&quot; however i have had my period now for 5 months, headaches, 0 sex drive, and weight gain. doctor wanted me to wait a couple more months to see if it stops but my energy level has dropped significantly and is getting in the way with being able to please my boyfriend. i can&#039;t say that wasn&#039;t effective because i&#039;m not pregnant. i know several other girls that have no trouble with this birth control form. however i&#039;m thankful i get it removed in a week."
