birth control
"Pros: no pregnancy.



Cons: 2 week periods. itchy scalp, dandruff. Facial acne. Shoulder, back, chest, upper arm acne. Emotional instability. Easily irritated. Weight gain.



I had this thing in for 2 months and had 'gained' 10 pounds by the time I got it removed. 48 hours later, and I've already lost 4 of these 10 pounds. This, in turn, led to me having zero confidence in myself. I am usually very confident. The acne was absolutely unbearable too.



After removal, my face is already clearing up. I do have many symptoms that lots of women have after removal, such as nausea and feeling emotional. I'll take that over having some controlling device inside my body. Doctor said it was like my body didn't want it, because it popped out right away."
