"i got this implant in february of 

2013. i&#039;ve not had a single period since. every once in awhile some old blood will come out nothing heavy at all and it lasts maybe a week. i had no pain with insertion. as far as side effects i&#039;ve only had mood swings, sometimes the insertion site itches but not often and usually subsides quickly after itching. no weight gain, headaches, periods, acne, and no decreased sex drive. i love this implant because i was on the pill before and i could never remember to take it with this you don&#039;t have to worry about remembering anything. i would definitely recommend this."
