birth control
"I had the implant inserted 2/2015. I had to move away from pills and patches as I was heavier and weight and I guess they become less effective. I had the option between the IUD and nexplanon implant. My friend accounted for the horrible insertion process and long periods with the IUD so I opted for the implant. My objective was a low maintenece BC and minimal periods. 

I don't remember what part of my cycle I was on when I got it inserted but it's now been a year and a half and I haven't had a period since I had it inserted. I haven't bled or had a single cramp or tenderness in 18 months! 



Now I am in the gray area with the side effects. I think all birth control cause some kind of heightened moodiness. However, I'd advocate for this BC."
