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&#039;t have a period when I got it. I got the implant &amp; 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&#039;t painful. Other than that, it&#039;s been a great. I did gain weight because it causes some weird hunger cravings, so I&#039;d watch out for that. I haven&#039;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 &amp; get the implant later for smoother transition."
