"my experience with the implant has been both positive and negative. i had it put in and have had it for roughly 3/4 months now and i have had a heavy period non-stop, i am also experiencing very bad mood swings. on top of this i have also started to break out and experience mild acne. the doctors have advised me all of this will calm down after 6 months however it is currently a very annoying process as this period is non stop and my moods have changed. currently the side effects are pretty bad but it will calm down and my boyfriend and i have regular sex and i am not pregnant...so it is very effective as a form of birth control."
