I have had the iud for about 2 1/2 yrs now. I stopped using the depo shot after being told you should only be on it for a year, thats of coarse after being on it for 4 years! I still don't get periods, but have had several ovarian cysts, bloating, and weight gain (over 20 lbs). Not to mention acne....I noticed in someone else's comments they started getting joint pain like carpel tunnel, I have had the same thing, extremely painful....I have been debating getting it removed, but I'm still trying to find a better alternative first.
