birth control
"Okay, it will be 2 years that I've had this implant in my arm in January.I personally like it. I have always had very severe cycles; to the point of me passing out and having to constantly get blood transfusions and iron infusions. Now, when I first got it put in last year, I was on my cycle. After getting it inserted, my cycle came off the very next day. About 1 month later, I had the worst cramps EVER. It honestly felt like i was about to go through childbirth again. Nevertheless, my doctor prescribed me some medication and that took care of that. Now, I have gained at least 25 pounds being on it!!! That is something that I just hate. I do have acne on my back and this year, my cycle stayed on for 4 months, but it was light. No complains"
