birth control
"I've had the implant since July 2010. The insertion was very easy and painless, except for the lidocaine it stung a bit.  I really like that I don't have to take a pill everyday. I don't like that I may go 2 months without a period, but will then bleed for 2 straight months! My periods are erratic and go on for a long time. I'm debating on getting it taken out, who wants to bleed for months at a time?"
