"i had the implant placed a little over 1 month ago. after about a week i started breaking out with acne. i feel extremely irritable, emotional, and have extreme insomnia. i keep getting the chills but it&#039;s been 80 degrees outside for weeks. i&#039;m a fit person, but i&#039;ve started having unexplained joint pain. i&#039;m so exhausted.. i was really hoping this birth control method was going to be the best choice for me. i never remembered to take the pill, i had frequent infections with the iud because my body didn&#039;t like the strings/foreign body in there. i&#039;m hoping these side effects will gradually lessen or go away because it&#039;s really effecting my quality of life. i&#039;m going to try to give it a few more months.."
