"welp! 5 years later and i didnt get pregnant so thats an a+ but the largest side effect has been my plummeted sex drive. about 6 months after having it implanted, the idea of sex was so....bleh. my poor husband has really taken a blow to his ego in the last few years. our sex life has certaintly taken a hit. so much so that he has been researching vasectomies now that i need a new bc implanted. other than that, it worked out."
