"hi. i&#039;m a 22 year old black female. i have this bc. i had my insertion july 1 2015 so i&#039;m almost to my 1 year mark. i would give it a 10, but the pain of insertion and the length of my period stop that. i was crying and squirming on the bed because they numbed not a large enough area and the damn woman was moving it around in my arm. ugh. but my mood is great, except when i pms or have my own problems, no weight gain or loss. more like weight retention. i&#039;ve been at 113 for a year. my periods are progressively light, minimal cramping, but  just last 9 days &gt;:( but i get one every 45-60 days. after i got it at the end of july, i didn&#039;t have a period until the end of sept, which was scary. but i&#039;m used to it. no hair loss, acne, etc. i love this!"
