birth control
"I was on the pill for about 3 years before getting it. I started skipping my placebo pills about 8 months before, so I didn't have a period when I got it. I got the implant & it was a very quick procedure: it took less than 5 minutes. There was initial discomfort, felt like tugging where it was inserted but it wasn't painful. Other than that, it's been a great. I did gain weight because it causes some weird hunger cravings, so I'd watch out for that. I haven't gotten a period or spotted at all. I think this method is best suited for those already on a hormonal type of birth control. If this is your first type of Hormonal Birth Control :give your body lots of time to adjust/try the pill first in a low dosage & get the implant later for smoother transition."
