"i have had mine in since may 08 after i had my 2nd child. everything was fine no period at all but that was probably because i was still breastfeeding. i stopped breastfeeding in 09. january 2010 i have been on my period since then!!!! at first it was every other week, now i will be off for like 3 or 4 days and i have also gained 40 pounds, extremely moody, irritable, stomach pains etc.... and drying of my scalp. i thought this was great before all these symptoms kicked in so i am going to make an appointment and get this out next week asap. this is not for me and i&#039;m glad i found this review site because i thought it was just me!"
