Got it and hate it at the moment. I got mine more to help with the pain and bleeding and it isn't doing its job. It did for the first few months it was in and then it turned to sh*t for me.
You have to remember I have other underlining issues with that part of my body.

How long have you had it Becks? Mine took a while to settle down in that I spotted for ages but once It settled I didn't bleed for a year it was fantastic. Now I get regular periods that do last 7 days but are so light I can get away with a panty liner and nothing at night. I  mine

I've got one and have had it for 3 months now. Had it put in 12 weeks after the girls were born, and haven't had a period or even any spotting since. I am more moody, but I don't know if that's attributable to that or other things...

Had mine since DD was 8 weeks, still spotting after sex (ie. it's irritating a bit) but otherwise fine. have gained a kilo but that could be to do with chocolate!

I hate mine and am getting it removed when DP gets the all clear after his snip.
I bled for the first few months and had to get hormone tablets to stop the bleeding. It's shortened my cycles to 24 days and I bled for seven whereas before my cycle was 28 days and I only bleed lightly for 3-4 days. It also caused weight gain and now no matter how much exercise I do I can't seem to loose any weight.
Hope you find something that works for you.

I had one for 6 months and during that time I bled for basically most of the time not heavy though just a light period and sometimes just spotting, I was told this would settle down after 3 months but it didnt so I left it until I could take no more. I have since found that I bleed and spot on mini pill and injection so have a bad reaction to the hormone found in each of those.
I wouldnt recommend it but I have heard of people that it has been fantastic for.
