"i was hesitant to get the arm implant because of negative reviews on here, but decided to try it anyway. i couldn&#039;t have had a better experience. insertion was fast and the only thing i felt was the numbing shot- nothing else. i experienced absolutely no negative side effects, not once having headache or nausea or anything. for a month or two i continued to get my period but it was only light spotting. after deciding to invest in liners, my periods stopped altogether. i haven&#039;t bled at all in months and it&#039;s been great. if you are seeking long term, zero maintenance, highly effective birth control, i highly recommend giving this a try. everyone&#039;s body is different and there is no way to know how you specifically will react to it."
