"started off loving this form of bc. had a period about a week after insertion and then nothing for about 5 months.  my face cleared up (also seeing a dermatologist) and not thinking about taking a pill daily was great.  after 5 months i started noticing spotting more.  a day here and there nothing major.  then every other week i started having periods and they became longer and heavier each time. my acne was back constantly and my dermatologist pretty much said she was out of options for me.  i became very irritable and hateful towards everyone.  didn&#039;t want to do anything but sleep and cried a lot.  my ob believes i was in a constant state of pms and we decided it was best that i get it removed.  feeling better already!"
