"i had this for 4 months and gained 20lbs no matter what i&#039;ve done i haven&#039;t been able to lose the weight. getting this birth control was the worst mistake of my life. every birth control i&#039;ve ever had and if i&#039;ve gained weight it always went back down its been 5 months and i haven&#039;t lost a lb. i got it removed immediately. i wouldn&#039;t recommend this to people i know."
