"i just got liletta removed after giving it a chance for 7 months. i never had an issue with cramps before, but from day 1 on this iud i had unbearable cramps. after the first few weeks i talked to my doctor who suggested i wait it out, but after 7 months of pain i give up. within a few minutes of having it removed i experienced relief and am starting to feel normal again. my back pain, abdominal cramps and upper thigh pain disappeared. everyone&#039;s body is different, but i would not recommend this to anyone. the pain and irregular bleeding are effective birth control because you won&#039;t want to have sex anyway. back to birth control pills for me!"
