"i wish i never got this. 3 months after insertion i began to get extreme abdominal pain once a month due to new ovarian cysts. now, 8 months after starting and 1 month after removal, i might need surgery due to an 8cm cyst on my ovaries. doesn&#039;t mean that it&#039;ll happen to you but be aware that the risk is there! i thought it would never happen and that it was unlikely but here i am today."
