text: I loved it. I was on it for 6 years, but had to get off of it because it was making my bones brittle. No periods! No messing w/ pads or tampons. No cramps. No stained undies. No worries about pregnancy. I haven't gained any weight since I've gotten off of it. It's been about 7 months. I hate everything that I have to deal w/ now. Periods, Pads, Tampons, Stained Undies, etc. I'm thinking of trying the IUD.
