"at first i was scared because i heard some people had non stop bleeding. but i&#039;ve been on this for about a year now and it&#039;s been great. i get my period , maybe once every 2 months but i rarely get it. i don&#039;t have to worry about it and i have no side affects. i&#039;ve tried the shot and the pill before and don&#039;t get me wrong the pill was great. it was just the matter of remembering.  i hated the shot. i only did it once and i stopped because it gave me bad stomach pains and i was consistently bloated.  so my body took the implant pretty well and i don&#039;t plan on taking it out anytime soon."
