For Birth Control I'm on my second pack about 2 & a half weeks in. So far I feel better overall with my mood besides the fact that life's been stressing me out. My only complaints are the acne and my breasts grew so much and I'm having a hard time with how much they've grown so quick. I also feel hungry all the time and feel like I've gained weight. Other than that it's helped my mood turn from sad and moody to pretty calm and happy

For Birth Control I feel that this contraceptive has both positive and negative effects. I'm a little disappointed my breasts have not grown at all since I've been on Aviane. My moods are slightly more moody, but my cramps and periods are painless. This is a lower level of birth control - meaning it won't make you gain weight or any other negative side effects others would cause.

For Birth Control I’ll get to the point. For my experience there was no pain felt at the insertion time, it felt like a normal pap check up to me. I had a recent c-section and got this after the baby I’m now 3 months post partum and still bleeding due to the IUD but no pain and it is starting to taper off and now it’s spotting but it’s every day. I was told I would not have any periods while having the IUD but I’m still hoping that can be true. Pretty ok experience for me I’m just hoping it works over time. No meds on the market work for everyone so I’m not in any pain and as long as I don’t get pregnant any time soon we are good to go!

For Birth Control I have had the Kyleena in since early March 2017 and in the beginning was really regretting it because I felt like I was constantly bleeding and cramping. I passed a lot of clots and I was just always uncomfortable. Today being July 2017 I feel like I have put the bad things behind me and am enjoying not having to worry about birth control. No more cramping, no more clotting and best of all I haven't gotten a period. Stick with it ladies, it will be worth it. It is true what they say though, allow a solid 3-6 month for you body to get used to it. Good luck!
