"i was writing this wonderful, very wordy review on this when i discovered that i have a word limit. dang. in a nutshell: i&#039;ve never had so many problems with a bc. significant weight gain, headaches, nausea, fatigue/insomnia, no periods for months and then weeks of bleeding. the worst is the change in my mood. depression. i couldn&#039;t no longer trust my instincts. everyone noticed a change in my attitude. it may be a convenience to just pop a rod in your arm, but it is not worth it. i am telling you, stay away. i cannot wait to have mine removed."
