"got my impant nov 2014 having it taken out tomorrow.  the pro of having it not having to remember to take a daily pill. cons in my experience weight gain and not beings able to lose it even with diet and exercise. acne which i&#039;ve haven&#039;t experience since i was a teenager. mood swings and depression. first three months i bleed after that my period last two weeks every month.  my period use to last 3 to 5 days. the insertion wasn&#039;t too bad with the exception of the needle. but having it removed i will have stitches put in and have a scar. but at this point i can&#039;t take it anymore i just want to out. i thought because i&#039;m healthy and fit i wouldn&#039;t have negative side affects, but my body didn&#039;t respond favorably."
