"the whole procedure of getting this birth control was simple. it didn&#039;t hurt at all and left a tiny bruise that went away quickly. it was great for about a month then i started getting irregular periods in the first few months. then went on a 5 month long period. always spotting. off and on heaviness. bad mood swings. at the 4th month, i started getting every symptom of being pregnant. nausea all the time, breast tenderness, moodiness, bloated, sharp cramps, etc. i took 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. finally got it removed. all symptoms went away not even 2 days after it was out. i didn&#039;t gain weight on it, i didn&#039;t get pregnant on it. but the other side effects were just too much for me to handle.
