"34, no children. i hate hormones but finally gave in due to abnormal uterine bleeding and the hope liletta would stop my periods. it releases a slightly lower dose of hormones than mirena which is why i chose it. had 4 lidocaine shots and insertion was still painful but not unbearable. i&#039;ve had it for 5 weeks nows, i bled heavy with clots and terrible cramps starting right after insertion for nearly 3 weeks. then it lightened up to just bleeding during the day but i was still using 3-4 tampons a day. now i&#039;m finally spotting, with no bleeding in the evening or overnight. i had horrific breast tenderness, moodiness, some bloating but no real weight gain. also a bit of acne which is very annoying. if my periods stop/lighten i will keep it."
