"i&#039;m 28 years old and have never been on birth control before, have never given birth and have never been on medication for a long period of time. i&#039;ve had mine since march and has been very effective birth control hands down. but as soon as my new health insurance kicks in, i&#039;m getting this thing removed. i have had 0 sex drive since i got this thing put in. my boyfriend and i used to have sex about 4 times a week and now it&#039;s down to maybe once a month if i don&#039;t have a yeast infection. i have had 13 infections since march. i&#039;ve become abnormally hormonal. i haven&#039;t gotten my period either. i don&#039;t recommend based solely on the side effects."
