"i got it on april 24 2008, the afternoon of the day i had my baby girl. i must say that it was new to the birth control scene and my doctors had recommended it for me. i must say i really like it. i had it for 6 yrs now and i am about to get it replaced for a new one. they last for 3 yrs. i don&#039;t get a period every month i get it every 3 to 6 months and when i do sometimes its heavy but most of the time its light like enough for panty liners.
