I absolutely hate this thing. I have had 2 ob's recommend this thing to me instead of me having my tubes tied. They made it sound like it's wonderful and will save lots of money in the long run. Months ago I started having really bad back pain, so bad I can't bend over to pick something up. I saw my family doctor and he ordered an X-Ray. Nothing came of it. I went and saw my ob and she checked the IUD's placement and examined me and came up with nothing. A few weeks ago I noticed sharp and at times severe pelvic cramping and burning. I went to my family doctor who ordered a CT scan with contrast. He discovered that I have an enlarged ovary. Next I had to have a pelvic ultrasound and I learned that I have an ovarian cyst. All that time and money for a cyst!!!! After telling my ob everything my family doctor had discovered, she thinks I should take the pill. I cannot believe all the time and money I've spent on this darn thing, only to find that NOW I should take the pill. If anyone is reading this forum to decide whether or not she should get this thing.... the only advice I have is to save up lots of money because you're going to need it. I have spent 4,000.00 on unnecessary testing on things that I thought were serious health problems, but were nothing more than side effects. I wanted this thing to be removed months ago but my ob insisted that I wait just a little longer. Now, I'm stuck with a bill for thousands of dollars and it's all because of this damn thing. Wish I would've went to Planned Parenthood... they would've removed it for $150.00, but at least I wouldn't have been out $4000.00!!!
