"got this inserted in august of 2016 and it was the best decision i ever made. i had a bruise for about two weeks on the insertion site, but have only had 2-3 days of spotting since then, have lost weight from going off the pill, and haven&#039;t had any uti&#039;s since insertion (i got them once every 2-3 months before the implant). the only complaint i would have is that it has made me break out, but that could potentially be attributed to stress."
