birth control
"I've had the implant since Aug. 2014. I absolutely love it! I had a large bruise for about a week after insertion and slight tenderness every once in a while, but otherwise it is hardly noticeable. I changed from oral contraceptives to this because of severe breakthrough bleeding (basically having two periods a month with a variety of different pills), although I haven't had an issue with any pregnancy scares. For the first 2 or 3 months of getting the implant, my gynecologist told me to take pills to regulate my period, and my period disappeared for a solid 8 months or so.. Earlier this year, bleeding came back and again I was prescribed occasional pills for bleeding, since it is my main issue. Overall, very satisfied and highly recommend!"
