"i&#039;ve had it for 2 years now and i have had constant spotting or bleeding throughout the entire time. the dr told me after 9 months of it being in the bleeding should stop, but it hasn&#039;t. i still get cramps and i gained 20 lbs. my skin is extra sensitive to the sun so i burn all the time. my moods are better, my acne comes and goes. my sex life isn&#039;t at its full potential because i don&#039;t want to have sex if i&#039;m spotting... which is all the time. i haven&#039;t gotten pregnant so this thing works, so i&#039;m reluctant to try something else and put my body through another traumatic time. for now i&#039;ll deal with the spotting. also it is super hard to lose weight for some reason. i was a 00 at the beginning and now i am a size 4"
