"i&#039;ve has the implant since mid december last year. the first few weeks after getting it were horrible. my boobs swelled up and were so painful that i cried whenever taking of my bra and i had terrible mood swings that almost made my boyfriend break up with me. i haven&#039;t had a period until last week. it was really light and only lasted about 5 days, but the first few days i had really bad cramps. 

i&#039;ve gotten more spots on my face, back and chest. other than that it is great, i love not having to remember to take a pill everyday."
