"i have had this bc since april 2011 and has worked well and i don&#039;t remember the last time i had a period other than right before i got the replacement. after this one i will not be getting it replaced again. i feel my body needs a break from hormones and i feel my body needs to have a period, also i never gained weight from having kids i was always around 100 and now i can not stay under 130, i know i&#039;m not fat but i do not feel comfortable with myself, i feel like my body needs to release all the bad stuff. i also believe it now has an effect on my emotional state. i do recommend it but don&#039;t get a replacement, maybe switch for a bit then go back to it."
