"i wanted to wait some time before i gave an initial review i got the implant in april. and will be getting it taking out this saturday. i will start with getting it place , it was very short i was given a local anesthetic and the nurse waited for about 15 minutes until it was completely numb. that was the easy part, i had no pain at all just some soreness at incision site along with bruising. 

a week later my hell started, i was on my period for 2 weeks straight with very bad cramps and mood swings. in month two i had sporadic spotting and full blown periods, hair thining. it also caused lack of sex drive. and i started to have headaches everyday. yes it prevented pregnancy but to me it isn&#039;t worth the side effects. this thing is the worst."
