"i have no pattern but i certainly feel like i have my period 3 out of 4 weeks. and it&#039;s been almost 2 years. that sucks, but, it&#039;s not enough to make me want to remove it early. i don&#039;t have any scarring from insertion and i&#039;ve had no other side effects. ended up having to buy a moon cup though as the cost of sanitary towels and the feeling of constant use of them was getting a bit much. i would still recommend it."
