"before i got this i had regular periods. i am 5&#039;4 and weigh 100lb, i gained 15lbs on this,but i needed to gain weight anyways.it was very easy to put in. i wasn&#039;t on my period at that time so i didn&#039;t get my period for the next 3 weeks and i thought this was awesome. a week later i got my period and it was heavy most days and then light but it didn&#039;t go away for about 6 months which is usual. i was off my period for about 2 weeks and had spotting during that, but after the 2 weeks i got my period and i had it for i don&#039;t even know how long but months straight! i didn&#039;t want to get it out but i had no choice and got it out my doctor said this was because of stress and not sleeping but my gyno said this happens to many people"
