"i got this inserted may 2016, the insertion process was super easy with no pain. i spotted for about 5 days after and haven&#039;t had a period since. works well as a contraceptive, never gotten pregnant. i have gained 10 pounds (after losing 20) which really sucks and is leading my to take it out. the weight just keeps coming on when i am eating healthy and exercising 4-5 times a week. i can&#039;t keep gaining weight so i am going back on the pill to avoid this."
