birth control
"I have had this device for about a year and a half. When I first had it put in, I did cramp for almost a week. Really bad cramps and I spotted the entire time. I finally had a cycle and I thought I was hemorrhaging. I'm 32 and I have two kids. I didn't even bleed that much after I had given birth. It was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. I had to wear adult diapers along with super plus tampons because there was so much blood. My periods where lasting up to two weeks. They are now down to about eight days with two days of very heavy bleeding. My vagina starts to have a funny smell and there is discharge for about a week. As for as this bc being effective I would say 100%. It's the side effects that are a pain."
