birth control
"I've had the implant for about 3 months now. It's worked since clearly I am not pregnant lol. That being said, I've only had 1 period since I've had it and it lasted about a week and a half. Before I got that period I had the worst cramps I've ever had. My other side effects were right after I got it I had heartburn for about 2 weeks and I was nauseous at night for a couple of days. But I powered through that and I have been completely normal now except no periods. I'm very happy I made the choice to get this implant. 

Side note- I'm not a doctor and I don't know this for sure but I've kind of noticed from the many reviews I read that the majority of women who have had bad side effects are women who have had a baby and then got the implant"
