I bled for 3 months An said for get it. Pads an tampons was getting expensive I was going Thur big boxes in 2 days. Finally went to the dr they put me on provera it stop for a week An as soon as I stop taking it period came back. Needless to say I got it out periods stop An returned to normal.
I bled for 2.5 months after I got mine but now I don't get periods anymore. I hated it and was considering getting it out but then my periods stopped so I'm happy now and feel better.
I waited two months before I finally gave in and went and got it out. It wasn't the bleeding though it was the fact that I had horrible painful cramps everyday. The bleeding was irritating but the cramps were the thing that finally made me get it out. Insurance often won't cover for birth control cost if you have it removed because they already paid for one type to last 4 years.
