"i got the implant because it seemed logical choice for a fast paced lifestyle where you can&#039;t remember everything. so i switched to it, the insertion was a little painful but healed quickly. i had no serious effects except acne really bad the first few weeks. then about a month in i started my period on it and had chest pain and numbness in my right arm so i got it removed. and learned i have nerve damage from it. would i recommend this to someone else no, it still has some kinks to be worked out. but everyone is different i wish i never would have gotten it."
