"This has SIGNIFICANTLY improved my quality of life. I’m in my mid-30s, never used hormonal birth control before, & this is my first IUD. I needed to treat HMB and severe PMS. I was losing 8-16 oz of blood every month. I thought about my period constantly & had to plan my entire life around it. PMS symptoms were so bad my doctor almost put me on SSRI’s to help manage the mood swings, anxiety, irritability, depression, and apathy every month. She suggested trying this (or mirena) before trying other drugs as it would also help with HMB. I am going on 4 months now and my periods are unbelievably light, no more cramps, iron levels are improving and NO MORE MOOD SWINGS. Insertion was painful but ibuprofen helped. My first period was painful, but since then they have been lighter and my most recent cycle had zero cramps. I am in a stable mental place now and actually feel like myself even during pms. I still have mid cycle spotting but I really don’t care. I feel like a person again!"

"I have had this for a year. Before the IUD, I was diagnosed with menorrhagia and had one (small) fibroid. I used to plan my life around my period; wore a large menstrual cup, extra-long pad, and period panties (and still leak). I modified my diet and took iron supplements that did not work. I experienced extreme fatigue, irritability, depression, anxiety, migraines, and severe PMS. Insertion was painful. I bled for 10 days with painful cramps. My first cycle was awful, and for 3 months had strangely painful random cramps and spotting. After that, my periods got lighter and now I just wear pantiliners. In 5 months, PMS symptoms were gone. No more depression, night sweats, or raging mood swings. In 8 months, I no longer experienced debilitating fatigue, so I started exercising on a daily basis. I am now in the best shape of my life at the age of 37, no longer anemic, and have lost 25 lbs. My body fat has gone from 32% to 24%. Even my thin hair is growing back! I am SO GLAD I got this IUD!"
