"it&#039;s very effective against pregnancy but the side effects have been horrible for me. i got it installed in june 2014 after having my baby. in august i noticed 2 patch&#039;s of my hair gone and severely thinned out in the front of my hair. i just thought this was due to postpartum hair loss which typically happens 3-4 months after you have a baby. however it is now january 27th 2015 and the hair loss has continued and now has spread to my entire front head around the edges. also since i have had it, i have had no desire for sex. nothing gets me aroused at all. my sex drive is nonexistent. i am going to get it removed soon because the side effects are unbearable. i am most upset by my hair loss."
