"i got the implant about a month ago so haven&#039;t had it that long, but for the month i&#039;ve had it i love it!!! don&#039;t have to remember a pill everyday, haven&#039;t experienced any weight gain, maybe a few mood swings just my body adjusting to the hormones going through my body. wasn&#039;t on any birthcontrol before hand. i started my period about 28-30 days a normal cycle after the initial insertion of the implant. i bruised a little bit but nothing major. all in all i love it my period only lasted 3 days i had mostly cramping and no bleeding i can really deal with this bc for 3 years...."
