"i&#039;ve had this birth control for only 1 month, so i&#039;m not anyone to talk. but so far i do love it. not having to take a pill or go for a shot or worry if something&#039;s misplaced is amazing. insertion was painless. numbing felt just like a normal shot and then the insertion was done so quick! i took off the wrapping a day early and you&#039;re supposed to keep a bandage on for 2 weeks (depending on what your doctor says) but i took mine off a day after i got it. my arm was sore for about a week and then after that i would just feel slight pinching feelings but now i don&#039;t feel it. the only downside is my period,so far is lasting way longer than it used to, but it&#039;s super light , also i get the worst migraines i&#039;ve ever had in my life."
