birth control
"About two weeks into having it in my arm, it started to hurt. Then I found I couldn't even find it in my arm! I went to my obgyn and she felt around and found it. So about the third week, I got my period. And here I was, in July, still on my period. I gained about 10 pounds in those months, low sex drive, awful mood swings, and major depression. Not to mention the dang thing hurt so bad in my arm I could hardly stand it! I finally told my obgyn I wanted it out and after about 30 minutes, she couldn't get it out. I had to get general surgery to have it removed! That took about 30 minutes, and a lot of pain, to get out. The implanon had ATTACHED itself to the scar tissue that surrounded the muscle in my arm. Would not recommend!"
