"i am a huge fan. read a lot of negative reviews prior to deciding, and promised myself that if i loved it i would share! got it 1.25 years ago. i got it for contraception, i haven&#039;t had any children. painless procedure- just pressure. bad bad cramping for the rest of the day- i would take panadol before going in next time so that it was kicking in earlier. i would also advise having the day off work. after day one it&#039;s been ace! smooth sailing. i get my period for about 2 days very lightly once every 5 months. and amazingly pain free (used to get bad cramps). no weight gain or loss. no hair loss. no nausea. better skin! so, i am a advocate. good luck."
