"my advice to anyone who plans on getting this would be just go for it. don&#039;t waste your time reading other people&#039;s story because it&#039;s not your own. everyone have different experiences. one thing for sure is if i went on here before i got my implant i probably wouldn&#039;t have gotten it. i&#039;m glad with my decision of getting the implant. i haven&#039;t gained weight from this birth control. however, some side affects i&#039;ve gone through we&#039;re mood swings and irregular menstrual cycle. the downfall about this implant is that i have my period more often than i did when i wasn&#039;t on birth control. i don&#039;t regret at all about getting birth control because it effective, no kids!"
