"i loved it. i had it for 2 1/2 years. i got it removed because i&#039;m going to start planning for a baby. on my opinion this is the best birth control. i had no issues while on it. i spotted once in a while, maybe once every 4-5 months just for a couple days. other than that, no periods, no weight gain, and no mood swings. side effects just depends on the person i guess. very satisfied, though!"
