"i&#039;ve had it in for a couple months so far it&#039;s been good. a little spotting every once in a while only hurt for a couple hours on the first day i got it put in. i&#039;m 18 years old no kids. works great i&#039;m satisfied with it. don&#039;t get long periods just about 2 hour long at the most. partner says he doesn&#039;t feel string. hurts ever once in a while."
