birth control
"I had the implant fitted on June 15th 2015, my first period arrived on September 12th and ended on September 20th, my second period arrived on December 12th and ended on December 20th. I had the implant removed on January 4th 2016. Previously I had been taking the Mini Pill for 5 years. Pros of the Implant (for me): No more mood swings, weight loss (5 pounds), regular and light periods. Cons of the Implant (for me): Acne (mild, but several forms, including cystic to my cheeks, chin and around my mouth), fatigue, hair thinning (but stopped at the 3 month mark), constantly sore (but not swollen) breasts, light cramping (daily). Final words: If it was not for the Acne I would have kept the Implant."
