"the insertion only hurt when the numbing needle injected its medicine into my body. after that, the birth control worked for its full three years successfully. removal was a breeze, actually better than the insertion.



side effects- holy shit. where do i start. this medicine made it so hard for me to lose weight. after i quit smoking i gained an extra 30 pounds and felt like i was hungry 24/7. food was always on my mind. 

my period would last an entire month for the first year &amp;  it would come every three months. towards the last 6 months of the three years my period finally went to normal. i always felt like i was pregnant. i convinced myself like twice that i was because of the crazy side effects, tender breasts, late periods, cramps etc."
