"i love this birth control. i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill everyday, i don&#039;t have to worry about missing a dose. this birth control is so convienet an effective. i&#039;ve had it for over a year now. the only negative is that i spot very lightly at least once a month for a few days but nothing unbearable. other then spotting no side effects for me :) but everyone is different. the placement is a bit freighting. i&#039;m terrified of needles but this was not bad. they numbed the area with lidocaine first so i couldn&#039;t feel the big needle in my arm. i highly recommend this."
