birth control
"I got the implant in January of 2014 after my daughter was born. It was easily inserted, painless and only left a tiny dot of a scar. I did get a period the first month which last 18 days. I was very worried that it would continue like that and considered getting it removed, but after the period ended I went over a year before I had another one, which lasted only 2 days. Now a year and a half later I am starting to get short periods (2 days) every two months. I think the implant is wonderful. I like not having to worry about taking a pill or having condoms on hand every time my husband and I wanted to get intimate. The only real negative thing about it has been the weight gain; about 15 pounds that just won't come off! :-)"
