"i got it insterted april 2015 and it is now october. i haven&#039;t had any crazy side effects at all. my first period was a bit heavy but not bad. my next few were very light. but i suddenly stopped getting a period until now in october and it&#039;s quite normal- not heavy or light. i have always been sensitive but i feel like it might actually be giving me mood swings. besides that everything is perfectly normal and i don&#039;t see any reason why anyone would not recommend it."
