"i had this implanted in february of 2015. it&#039;s now august, and i&#039;ve had nothing but great result. no weight gain, only loss. no breakouts, only skin clearing. i think often people blame this own behaviors on their birth control. if you take good care of yourself, eat, well, &amp; continue to work out, i wouldn&#039;t say from my experience that you have any trouble. it has migrated up my arm a little bit, but it&#039;s no problem. i haven&#039;t had my period since march! no pain, or anything bad. i really enjoy this form of birth control. i recommend giving it a go if you insurance will cover it."
