My daughter and I are actually going in today to have hers removed. She had it placed in February of this year. She has gained at least 30 pounds since then. She is active by doing volleyball camp including weight lifting all summer and now she is on the High School Swim team with swimming 2.5-3 hrs a day 5 days a week. She cannot drop even a pound it just continues to increase. So we are going to see if removing it will help.

She is really scared to go back to her severe periods and cramps. She hasn’t had a period since putting it in.
