"it was inserted november 2014 so it&#039;s been a year and four months. i get my period twice a month every other month. i&#039;ll get it a 7 days, it&#039;ll stop for one week then come back for another week. the bleeding was terrible at first but its regular/light now. before insertion i got it for 4 days every 28days. i&#039;m irritated and cry over everything. sharp breast pains, terrible cramps, my hair is disgustingly oily now. i&#039;ve also gained 30lbs w/o changing my diet so i ate less and gained 10 more. i&#039;m getting it out monday."
