"i was taking the pill for about a year, but felt like i didn&#039;t like the mood swings or remembering to take it. i got the liletta iud in september of 2015. the initial pain was bearable, and after a few days of spotting, it was over. i have periods sometimes still but usually only every few months--and the bleeding is very light. as birth control, i love it. 
but, there are a few things that i don&#039;t like
1) my partner is rather well endowed and when we have sex in certain positions, the string scratches him a bit. it may have been how it was put in. 
2) i got horrible hormonal acne from it. i went from mostly clear skin to awful and painful constant acne. i went to my dermatologist, and i got a medication that cleared it up."
