"i&#039;ve had it for about 3 years now &amp; it just keeps getting worse.. i have all the symptoms of having an ovarian cyst in both sides, but have gotten x-rays &amp; &quot;nothing is wrong.&quot; major, unbearable cramping... to the point where i&#039;m crying... it works very effectively but at a cost. my period has never been 10 days long. sometimes i get 2 periods a month within 12 days of each other. i get pms 1-2 weeks before my actual period &amp; constantly discharge. i&#039;m highly considering getting it removed."
