not that I want to turn this into a 'Marina hating' thread, but I just had mine taken out yesterday, for so many reasons, the 15 kg weight gain the constant bloated tummy, aches and pains all over my body, migranes, massive mood swings, depression, self loathing, fogginess, lack of sex libedo geeze the list just goes on and on, I agree with what others are saying just research it before you make the final decission, I had mine in for over a year and a half, the first year was wonderful, I was so happy with it but then the side effects came thick and fast and it just got to much,

I was offered the copper 7 but decided against it as I dont like what it does,

have you thought about the Nuvaring??? that actually looks really good, personally I dont think its right for me as I am super sensative to any hormonal contraceptive so I dont think it would work for me but if your ok with the hormonal contraceptives I would seriously look into it, as it looks easy and pretty fuss free.
