birth control
"DO NOT GET THIS! UNLESS-you're crazy. Has caused-painful breast lumps (still awaiting my ultrasound results from my breast doc), thyroiditis (an inflammed thyroid), thyroid nodules, severe migraines, AWFUL periods (almost all the time, heavy, far more uncomfortable than usual), terrible back pain, fatigue, weight gain, acne. Not to mention the person who inserted it put it too deep, so the first removal attempt was unsuccessful, I have to go back and get it removed with use of Xray/Ultrasound. Huge regret. Not worth the detrimental blow to my health. Prior to getting this-I was HEALTHY. No health problems (aside from the occasional seasonal allergies.) 3 months after insertion-everything went to hell. Coincidence. I (& my doc) think not."
