birth control
"The insertion only hurt when the numbing needle injected its medicine into my body. After that, the birth control worked for its full three years successfully. Removal was a breeze, actually better than the insertion.



Side effects- holy shit. Where do I start. This medicine made it so hard for me to lose weight. After I quit smoking I gained an extra 30 pounds and felt like I was hungry 24/7. Food was ALWAYS on my mind. 

My period would last an entire month for the first year &  it would come every three months. Towards the last 6 months of the three years my period finally went to normal. I always felt like I was pregnant. I convinced myself like twice that I was because of the crazy side effects, tender breasts, late periods, cramps etc."
