birth control
"I have had this BC since  2011. I am now 24 and going on 6 years. I am considering a 3rd implant. I will admit in the beginning both times was horrific. I was on my period on and off for roughly 3-4months. It was not heavy just frequent. When I first got the BC I did experience dryness and an infection from over using tampons because I was unsure of what was happening. 3 month long periods are no fun. Within a year my periods came regularly but last from 10-16 days every time. This is an undesirable side effect; but still no pregnancy.  I do not have to remember to take a medication daily, or weekly. I recommend trying for 1 year and being open to discuss with sexual partner. Their reaction does influence the effectiveness of this BC."
