I have just had mine removed - Feb 19. This was my second one and all up would have been on it for about 5.5 years. I didn't have any problems, got the occassional bleed and did get paranoid occassionally that I may be pregnant. No period for a while, feeling unwell, boobs tender etc. What I have noticed is since it has been removed I am not starving hungry of an afternoon now, infact have lost about 2kg. But that could be due to being unwell too, not sure if it is because of a virus, my gastritis or what is going on.

It worked for me, give it a go, you can always have it removed. This removal was much better, first one was positioned too low and ended up having about a 1cm scar. The most recent one is about 0.5cm. It depends on lots of things as to how big an incision they need to get it out.

Good luck
