"i got mine october 18th 2014, six weeks after giving birth. the first few months were hell. insertion didn&#039;t hurt but i was still taking hydrocodones from my episiotomy so that&#039;s probably why. i bled for 4 months straight. then when my periods came back they lasted two weeks. i lost so much weight, and it wasn&#039;t good because i&#039;m underweight. i became so moody and just mean. this is my first birth control, and it could be my body just not reacting wel to hormones. however, a year later and my periods are now 2-3 days and barely anything. i&#039;m happier now and i&#039;m glad i didn&#039;t take it out. everyone&#039;s body is different."
