"i had this inserted in january this year. i am getting it taken out because i cannot handle it any longer. i have been bleeding for months on end, with like a 2-3 day window of normality. it was really the only birth control i could take so i really tried to stick it out, because they say after 6-8 months it should settle. it hasn&#039;t. i really hope this works for some people but it has made my life so difficult. mood swings, anger, irritability is through the roof. good luck, i hope you don&#039;t have the same experience."
