"i was scared to try this birth control cause of all the negative feedback i was reading, but i got it inserted in october 2010 and the first three days were scary because i felt a rush of hormones (like if you took 2 birth control pills at once).  i am very sensitive to birth control, so i was scared because i thought that i would have the worst reaction.  but, after 3 days, the &quot;hormonal feeling&quot; subsided and i have had maybe three periods in 6 months and all have been light and easy.  i have had no weight gain and nothing really negative to say about it at all!  and, i am not pregnant, phew!"
