"i&#039;ve had this birth control since february 26th. it didn&#039;t hurt to get it put in, as long as it&#039;s taken care of the right away afterward you should be perfectly fine. honestly, it was sore just as it should be, but i didn&#039;t notice it after it healed. it does ache sometimes now. in february after i got the implant i bled for about a week but it was very light. since then i have not had a period. i haven&#039;t gained weight or lost my hair. i do break out a little more often and i&#039;m very tired more often than i used to be. but i highly recommend it even past these side effects."
