birth control
"I live in the UK and I've had the implant in for four months. 



Prior to the implant I took progesterone to make sure I was OK with the hormone, the mood swings were terrible but they settled down after 2 months.  When they put it in they numb your arm so you can't feel anything.



For four months I haven't had any periods, no cramps, no anything! I haven't noticed any weight gain and infact my skin has gotten better. I have noticed a lot of bad side effects that other people have had, but this implant has been great for me."
