"i had my first round put in in 2010. the first 3 years were good. i hardly ever had a period and when i did it was real light. it was great until i realized i had put on 20lbs in the first 3 years, none of my habits changed i still was active and ate decent. when i went back in to have it renewed i didn&#039;t have a period for 3 months then it came for 3 weeks with a vengeance as well as more weight gain and i can&#039;t seem to lose it no matter what i do. so needless to say i&#039;ll be having this one removed. but it does do it&#039;s job i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant."
