"i&#039;ve had the implant for about 3 months now. it&#039;s worked since clearly i am not pregnant lol. that being said, i&#039;ve only had 1 period since i&#039;ve had it and it lasted about a week and a half. before i got that period i had the worst cramps i&#039;ve ever had. my other side effects were right after i got it i had heartburn for about 2 weeks and i was nauseous at night for a couple of days. but i powered through that and i have been completely normal now except no periods. i&#039;m very happy i made the choice to get this implant. 

side note- i&#039;m not a doctor and i don&#039;t know this for sure but i&#039;ve kind of noticed from the many reviews i read that the majority of women who have had bad side effects are women who have had a baby and then got the implant"
