Birth Control
"Nearing my 3 year mark .  And I can NOT wait to have this thing taken out. The insertion process wasn&#039;t bad at all, the bruise was pretty nasty but that&#039;s it. Since getting the birth control implant I&#039;ve gained about 20 pounds, I have crazy cravings, and the mood swings are the absolute WORST. My periods are irregular I get a period every 2-3 months and it&#039;s always on the regular to lighter side but it always lasts 7 days or more like a constant spotting almost. The only thing that&#039;s good about this birth control and it&#039;s the main reason I&#039;ve kept it is because it&#039;s effective."
