"i have had this in for just over 3 months. the insertion was quick and painless and the bruising afterwards was a little uncomfortable, but generally fine, and went away completely after 2 weeks. for the first 2.5 months i had constant irregular bleeding, not heavy, but it was inconvenient as it was quite dark in colour, and pretty unpredictable. no cramps which was good. now, i&#039;m delighted as i haven&#039;t had any bleeding at all and it&#039;s totally settled down. mood seems normal and in terms of weight gain, i may have gained a couple of pounds but it all seems to have gone to my breasts. they&#039;ve gone up a whole cup size haha! really pleased with this birth control now bleeding has stopped."
