"during my periods i had intense cramps and heavy bleeding.that&#039;s why i chose the convenience of this birth control.i got my inplant put in july 31st 2015. midway in august i experienced intense pain while laying down, as if i literally was stabbed. as soon as i got up i had major shedding of my walls.september 8th i started my period, ever since than i have been bleeding. during april i went to my gyno and she ran a test stating it could be an infection. results came back that&#039;s not the issue. i have gained almost 30lbs during this time. i&#039;m extremely irritable and get upset over the smallest things. i&#039;m no longer am able to self lubricat, which makes intercourse painful. overall for me it isnt worth it."
