"i have had my iud for over a year now and i think it&#039;s the best thing ever. when i first got it put in i only bled for about a week with a little cramping. after that nothing at all. i haven&#039;t had a period for about 8months until i finally got one, and its not bad at all. it&#039;s light, no cramping, no headache, nothing. i haven&#039;t gained weight, my acne is gone, and my moods are fine. i know all women are different, but i just hear all these horror stories and i just wanted to tell my story, which is a good one. hope it calms some of your fears."
