birth control
"I've had the IUD for about 5 months. For the first month I bled constantly with heavy clots, terrible cramps, and tender breasts. Things started to improve around the second month with only light bleeding and now I have random spotting or a period that lasts a few days. I initially had acne but read about black african soap which (in conjunction with tea tree oil after showering) has eliminated it. I have PCOS and already had hair growth on my chin. It's a lot worse with the IUD in place and I'm going to electrolysis to eliminate it. That is my biggest complaint. No weight gain (but I did experience bloating). And I've ALWAYS gained on BC w/estrogen. Once my husband felt it but my doc snipped the strings and it's not been a problem since."
