birth control
"Got this thing in my arm 1 month ago. Insertion wasn't too bad, hurt a little bit, and was sore for a couple days. Bruise went away after about a week. It was really itchy, and at times still is. I started bleeding 10 days ago, so I called my doctor. One of the nurses told me that I could continue to bleed continuously for the next 6 months....great. Looking at other people's reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one. At least it is a light amount, but still very annoying. I hope I can get through this and never have a period again. On the plus side, I don't have to take a pill everyday, and my insurance covered the implant, which would've cost me $3000 out of pocket."
