"i decided to get this because i get irregular menstrual cycles that go from no period to red wedding (game of throne fans will get this) like cycles. some days i would have to call out of work. anyway...all the doctors gave a good hype about this minerva. i have a high tolerance for pain and had a child - the insertion hurt!!! i&#039;ve had this evil thing in me since june (almost 4 months) and the bleeding won&#039;t stop. i&#039;m buying pads by the bulk, and went to my dermatologist due to acne! they make it seem as if &quot;spotting &quot; is ok but after two months of constant spotting you begin to wonder- &quot;why did i get this&quot;.  i also still get my periods and they last even longer! my moods go from 0-100 like the speed of light. i&#039;m having it removed asap"
