"i&#039;m on my second implant, and although i got on pretty well with the first one i&#039;ve decided to have this one out early. for the first year or two i wouldn&#039;t have any periods at all, which was great, but towards the last year i&#039;d start to have random, then more regular periods. this time, i&#039;ve started getting bad cramps and heavier periods so i think it&#039;s time to try something else.

insertion and removal is fine - you get local anaesthetic, might be a little bruising after and scars but it&#039;s nothing to worry about.

my biggest cons are that my sex drive went way down, and i gained about 25lbs. all in all it is effective and worth giving a go."
