"i&#039;m 21 and a mother of an almost 3 year old. i had my iud inserted about 2 years ago. the pro is that i love not getting my period but i feel like i&#039;ve experienced more cons with it. i&#039;ve gained more weight then i did during my pregnancy, i cry for no reason. i feel bloated often, i&#039;ve recently started getting acne which i never had even as a teen. i know everyone is different but i&#039;ve decided to get mine removed after having it 2 years. i hope to use good old abstinence as my new birth control. as to you ladies that had amazing experiences i&#039;m very jealous!"
