"for everyone wanting to get theirs out, i was on the same boat for a while. i got it inserted in november 2015 and i had two three week long periods in november and january that were horrible. i was really planning on getting it out once the 3 month trial period was up, but now it&#039;s the end of march and i haven&#039;t had a period, spotting, or any side effects since then. doctors know what they are talking about when they say wait at least 3 months before you get it taken out. my advice for anyone suffering right now is to wait&ndash;especially if you were on a different type of birth control before&ndash;because once your body gets used to the different hormones, your period might stop!"
