"i had the first one december 2011. no side effects what so ever. no period. had only unprotected sex and never had a worry. in december 2014 got it removed and another put in. same simple procedure, they just put it back into the &quot;capsule&quot; that your body makes with the first one. again no side effects or period. we decided to have another baby so january 2016 got it removed, which i paid $200. as insurance won&#039;t cover it if it is before your three years. had my first menstrual feb. 26th 2016. and got pregnant instantly. had my baby full-term november 27, 2016. and now january 20, 2017 got another one put in. everyone&#039;s body is different and will tolerate birth control differently. none of the others worked for me, this has been my birth control"
