"i&#039;m 22 with no kids. i had been on birth control pills since i was 17 &amp; had decided to try an implant. my insertion was definitely a 9/10, 9 being almost unbearable.the first 3-4 weeks were crazy.my cramps were intense &amp; i was sleeping with a heating pad almost every night. i didn&#039;t have an appetite and being on my feet at work made the cramps worse. i kept going back to the doctor to make sure that the implant was in the right spot, thinking it wasn&#039;t because something felt really wrong. everything was normal and they suggested i wait it out another couple weeks. i did and i&#039;m now in my 5 month with it and i love it.just wanted to let the girls out there know that if you&#039;re considering taking it out, give it awhile longer!"
