I used to have fairly light and painless periods and I’m now in agony every month and bleeding through my clothes. I have it time to see if it would settle but it’s been a year so I’ve booked to get it removed and can’t wait.

Really liked this. Tried hormonal methods and ended up having a negative experience with them so had a go at this one. Works great. Most problems stopped after 6 months, like heavier bleeds and back pain etc. Eventually got down back to normal but it takes time to adjust. Genuinely made my life so much better, sex is great and I don't need to worry about hormones or my menstural cycle.

From very heavy periods to light and now basically non-existent this has been a real blessing. Didn't suffer much from mood changes prior and hasn't affected me there either. Cramping on and off occurred for around the first month. Feel a lot freer
