"i recently got this form of birthcontrol after my paragard painfully was rejected from my body. i didn&#039;t want to go with hormones because of side effects like weight gain. i take antidepressants so i was skeptical. i&#039;ve had this for about 2 months now and aside from spotting i love it, i&#039;m actually losing weight, my mood swings and depression is actually becoming better. the only side effects that i&#039;m experiancing is the spotting, and i&#039;m always tired but i rather take that them worrying constantly about being pregnant or checking for strings or taking a pill everyday. i know the spotting with subside after my body becomes more accustomed to this"
