Birth Control
"I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like the side effects are similar to being on the pill, but I feel way more secure about not becoming pregnant with the implant. No loss of sex drive. I&#039;m 38 and the mother of 4 and am done having babies. But my husband doesn&#039;t want me to have a tubal ligation. Six months into having the implant, and I have gained about 20 lbs and have a fair amount of hair loss. Periods are all over the place. I have started to have some very strange leg pain and bruising on my legs that I haven&#039;t experienced before, and my husband (a physician) is concerned it might be related to the implant. So I&#039;m making an ultrasound appt for my leg pain and may have my implant out. Really wish this would have worked for me."
