Has anyone had experience with having it removed (and not getting a new one in)? While it's been an okay contraceptive, I'm just not having enough sex (lmao!) to justify the side effects right now, which are weight gain and moodiness. A lot of moodiness actually. So I've booked an appointment to have it removed next week. So, does it hurt more coming out? It's only been in for 6 or so months. Did you get any bleeding after? If you hadn't had AF back before it was put in, did it come back after? And, did your symptoms disappear after removal? Cheers
