birth control
"After being on the pill for years, I decided to try the implanon for two reasons. 1: you don't have to remember to take the pill every day and 2: it is so much cheaper than the pill in Australia. The implanon was about $30 once off for three years and the pill costs me $75 for three months. At first I thought it was great because I didn't my period for the first two months. Then it became once a month, which I thought was still fine. But a year later I had it taken out because I was bleeding about 50% of the time in an almost 1 week on / 1 week off pattern. In addition, my skin broke out on my back so badly that my doctor put me on Minocycline. So I had to remember to take daily medicine anyway, and I've never had acne before."
