"i had this birth control in for 3 years i get it out today. i stuck with it to see if things would change.... they didnt. but i didn&#039;t get pregnant so it served it&#039;s purpose. i would go two months without a period then a whole month with a period. im 20lb from the weight i was when i gave birth. i feel like i have retained weight. i worked out ate healthy. never could lose the weight. i&#039;m so excited to remove this today to see if i can finally lose the weight that has been bothering me."
