"i&#039;m 17, and this is the first type of birth control i&#039;ve tried. i got it inserted in october of 2013, and have been bleeding ever since. it&#039;s not heavy, and i don&#039;t experience any cramps. although it&#039;s still a huge annoyance. i have experienced a lot more acne problems than before, i had completely clear skin, and now i get painful, large pimples. i have gained a little weight, but i&#039;m quite skinny, so i don&#039;t mind. i haven&#039;t noticed any more mood swings than normal, i am a teenager and that teds to happen a lot anyway.  
i&#039;ve had it in for about 5 months, and my doctor told me i might experience bleeding for up to 6 months. if it continues after 6 months i plan on getting it removed."
