birth control
"I had the implant in my arm for about 10 months. The only reason why I never got pregnant was because my period lasted for 4-6 weeks. Which was the worst side effect. I was very moody and never realized it until people would tell me and I had to reflect and see myself acting out of the ordinary. Before getting the implant, I was a nice 140 pounds and then I went to 165 in about 2 months. I'm a professional dancer and I'm in the gym 5 times a week and I eat extremely healthy. No matter what I did, I could never lose the weight. I took the implant out about 2 weeks ago. I went from 165 pounds to 157 in that 2 week time. My periods are back to 4 days also. I will never try this again and I'm looking into different birth controls. Stay away!"
