abnormal uterine bleeding
"I've been using the DP for almost 2years. I was left with this choice due to being a migraine sufferer I could not take the pill & was hospitalized from the iud with swollen tubes & ovarian cysts & abscesses (surgery to remove burst ones) & a personal preference of not wanting the rod . Before using the DP my periods were pain free, very light & lasted maybe 3 days Max. I had done my research & read about breakthrough bleeding for up to a year & thought "better than being pregnant right", because in my mind I was imagining sporadic spotting. Not incessant bleeding of weird colours & clots accompanied with constant stabbing pain. Gyno says continue with jab, take this, do that but I've given up, I may be a rare case but I wouldn't recommend"
