I had one in for just over two years and my cycles were all over the place, 19 day bleeds and then nothing for months and each time I decided to get it removed, it would take a week to get in to see my doctor so I didn't bother.

I was also moody and had NO sex drive, less than none.

There has been stuff in the papers in the past that some doctors were not even inserting them, let alone incorrectly. They could not tell when they had been injected or were left in the device.

One thing about getting it removed - my arm was a little chunkier than it was when it was put in, so my doctor had to have a bit of a dig around. Can't see anything now.

It also took us 11 months to conceive the second time, whereas the first time it took three.

I have not heard a good thing about it from anyone.

Barb.
