i just wanted to let you know that after having this iud for a month, my periods have slowed to a limitted amount of spotting. my dr. and i had decided this would help me because , before i had gotten it, i was told i have cists. they made my periods unbearable and lasted up to ten days. i"m hoping i didnt make the wrong choice. i have some side effects such as nausia and my vision is somewhat disstorted but so far nothing else. i just dont want this to in up hurting me instead of helping.
