birth control
"I can say I've had nothing but great experiences since having it placed last June. I was on the pill for 3 years before finding out about the implant. On the pill I gained about 30lbs but thought it was my only option. I decided to get the implant as I had been forgetting to take the pills, and my Dr said it was the most effective form of birthcontrol around right now. The placing of the implant was painless, just a little uncomfortable. I got regular period the two months after the insertion, and have not had a period since, which I love. I really haven't had any side affects, except for losing about 20lbs (back to my normal weight prior to the pill) so I'm not complaining. Uncomfortable at times (if I sleep on my arm), but I rarely notice it there"
