While I was pregnant I had SO many people start pushing the whole Birth Control thing on me - I felt like I was being pressured into choosing one and not much time to descide. My midwife raved

It upsets me that annoyone would feel that they have the right to impose any kind of birth control method on you. That should clearly be your choice. It also upsets me that they did not seem to have checked your family history before putting that thing in. They should definitely have been reluctant knowing that your mom had such problems with it?! Any kind of hormonal birth control could cause problems for a girl, so they should always be treated with care and they should definitely do check-ups on how you are feeling. I am thinking that some of the symptoms that you describe must be from the lack of sleep rather than from the birth control, but since the lack of sleep is due to that thing, it is, of course, all related just the same. You need to get your sleep, after all, or you'll go insane and/or your body will react in bad ways. I hope that you will be able to get it removed, as it is clearly not a good thing for you. And yeah, a lot of women have trouble with that sort of thing, so it should not be news to the doctors either. As

I know I got upset now cause I did feel so pressured into using birth control even though I didnt want it. I tried to urge Clint to please not tell his sisters that I had it removed. They made fun of me cause it hurt for me to have it put in and they said it was so easy.

I had it removed about 10 days ago and feel over all better. I been sleeping except for a few nights of having a bad headache but they are getting more far apart. I thought maybe hopefully my anger towards Clint was some due to the hormones but now realizing that its more part of being tired and he never seeing he puts so much on me. I been sleeping better - For a few days after having it removed all I really wanted to do was sleep.
