"i&#039;ve had this birth control since may 2013 it&#039;s the 1st of december. my doctor said after 5 months my period would go away. the first few months my cycle was normal, around september my cycles got longer and came close together. i cant remember when they began or ended. now i just have to carry extra undies and tampons everywhere i go. its terrible not knowing when your cycle will began and end. if my period doesn&#039;t get it together or end soon i think i will be getting this removed. my side affects are: mood swings, depression, i sleep a lot more, and i eat like a grown man fresh out of prison."
