"i got this implant put in after my son was born in 2010. i have enjoyed it for the most part because the side effects are bearable. when i do have a period it usually lasts a while but i will also go for months without having one. i have however experienced a huge decrease in my sex drive. my son is almost 2 now so the side effects for me and friends of mine change every year i&#039;m on it. i often fear i&#039;m pregnant, then i take a test and it is negative. so it has a lot of pregnancy symptoms for all the users who have it and don&#039;t know."
