"i got the implant november 2015. it definitely works as far as not getting pregnant. however, i have month long periods. on a month, then off a month. and i am very emotional.i cry over the simplest things. the emotional part is a deal breaker, i&#039;m getting it removed. but for those who don&#039;t have this issue i suggest you keep the implant! it is definitely effective for not becoming pregnant"
