I had it put in at the end of January. Insertion wasn't fun and did hurt but no worse than the period cramps I used to get. Did spend the afternoon in bed. First few months were ok, some period pain but less than before and lighter periods. But as a few more months have passed I've been getting more migraines again. Also my body hair is more noticeable. My mood is mostly stable except now when I'm ovulating or period about to start, I get very irrational and angry. My last period was heavier than I would have had before the coil but hoping that was just a blip. Have also been spotting constantly the last 2-3 months.

Overall helped to regulate my periods, but also had significant side effects on my food intake/weight and on my energy levels.
Very positive mood

It was great — 3 months of light spotting in the adjustment period, NO period at all after that. Until my body expelled the IUD 8 months in. I got a replacement IUD. It also expelled. 1 month in. Sadly, my uterus doesn't like IUDs. Other than that and some lower back pain, it was a very good contraceptive and helped stop my heavy periods altogether.
