"it worked great for the first 2 years, but after that i started bleeding regularly, gaining weight, and got hormonal cystic acne on my chin. initially, it was great because i never got my period, but now i&#039;m considering switching to a progestin pill to avoid the weight gain, acne and constant bleeding. i&#039;ve noticed that it also decreased my sex drive. my roommate had to have it removed because of constant bleeding, too."
