"okay, it will be 2 years that i&#039;ve had this implant in my arm in january.i personally like it. i have always had very severe cycles; to the point of me passing out and having to constantly get blood transfusions and iron infusions. now, when i first got it put in last year, i was on my cycle. after getting it inserted, my cycle came off the very next day. about 1 month later, i had the worst cramps ever. it honestly felt like i was about to go through childbirth again. nevertheless, my doctor prescribed me some medication and that took care of that. now, i have gained at least 25 pounds being on it!!! that is something that i just hate. i do have acne on my back and this year, my cycle stayed on for 4 months, but it was light. no complains"
