"i absolutely love this birth control. i only have had one period while on it. after the first i have had none for the three years. i am going to get it taken out and replaced with a new one this month. when first getting it inserted i had a small bruise and my arm felt sore for about a week. after a little while you forget about it and it takes a minute to find it.  i love knowing that i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill and that it last for three years. i feel protected and it wasn&#039;t as scary getting it done as it sounded i will never use any other form of birth control. i honestly feel like this is the best option out there. the scar you get is about the size of a pin head it is smaller then a bug bite. it is not noticeable at all. try it!"
