birth control
"I have had my implant in for 5 months now. When I first heard about this form of birth control it seemed like a great option for me given the fact that I am incredibly forgetful and knew I would forget to take a pill every single day (it's an accomplishment when I remember to finish a full cycle of antibiotics). For the first six weeks I had it in everything was great. I had no periods, mood swings, weight gain, or any generally negative side effects. However, after those first six weeks were up I have experienced/been experiencing weight gain (approx. 15-20 lbs.), noticeable irritability/mood swings, and the absolute WORST bleeding I've ever had. It has basically been a consistent period for nearly 4 months now. Switching to the pill ASAP."
