"i&#039;ve had this for a little over two years now. right away my mood swings were awful but i didn&#039;t bleed which was great. occasionally i have pain in my arm where it is located. my periods happen about every 6 months and it wasn&#039;t until january that my period lasted for almost 3 months with horrible cramps. i plan on taking it out soon. i would say the only good thing is i have not been pregnant. i would not recommend this or any birth control (besides condoms) in the future."
