"i got mine in april of 2014. the insert was painless, but there was slight bruising and soreness for a few days. as normal. for the first 3 months i had a non-stop period i was super moody and  sensitive of my feelings . it was light and i didn&#039;t cramp. then my period went away complete for 7 months. in february of 2015 i spotted a few days then went away. it was like my period was trying to regulate. i had a normal period ever since. every since i got on this birth control my face was been clean of acne. i did gain about 10 pounds, but i ended up losing it. i highly recommend this birth control if you&#039;re forgetful about taking a pill every day."
