birth control
"I got the implant a little over a year ago. The doctor made it sound great (no pills, etc..) so I went for it. Here I am a year later...STILL bleeding every day. I haven't experienced any other side effects (maybe hair thinning but that might just be me getting paranoid) and it has been effective in preventing pregnancy as well as convenient. The cons definitely outweigh the pros though, I am now starting an estrogen pill on top of this to hopefully regulate the bleeding. Buying sanitary items constantly over the past year has also gotten expensive. I will not get this replaced and hopefully can get it removed soon."
