"honestly, implanon is the best birth control. you will not get pregnant. it works. but the side effects i got were annoying and after a year i got it removed. i would be on my period for months at a time, i had a lot of irregular bleeding, i was bleeding a lot. even though i had a lot of bleeding, i stopped getting those super bad cramps i would get. and i did get acne...a lot of it. everyone reacts differently to everything and my body reacted horribly to the implanon. but at least it works and you don&#039;t have to worry about taking a pill everyday, patches, etc. "
