"so let me first explain that i got this implant because i&#039;m overseas for long periods of time and was sick of paying for pills in bulk (insurance wouldn&#039;t cover more than 3 months). overall my experience has been amazing. i&#039;m not understating this. the insertion? yes, that was a little uncomfortable, and the recovery was pretty intense (and i have i high pain tolerance), but it was worth it. now, i&#039;m usually the body type that with either stress or working out a lot (i&#039;m talking about insanity or marathon training) i don&#039;t get my period. but, i&#039;ve been working out normally and with minimal stress have not gotten my period. i repeat...after the initial period...i have not received a period in 2 months. this implant is amazing."
