"i have used this method of birth control because i tried the pill and it made me nauseous and the iud was too much pain to insert. i used this for 2 years 5 months before removal. i just came to the point where i was tired of the side effects. not knowing when my period would come or it coming for 30 days at a time was the least of the problem i faced. the real side effects that caused me to grow tired of this method are, was the fact that i had an extremely low sex drive. mind you i&#039;m married and only 28 years old. so having sex is a big deal for my husband as he is also 28. i felt tired every day no energy to do anything. besides all of the i developed a really bad attitude towards everything. i would just get real angry for little thing."
