Birth Control
"I got this about a year and a half ago. It&#039;s done well as a birth control (I&#039;m not pregnant) but the sideaffects are intolerable. Upper lip hair, mood swings often, depression, some weight gain, fatigue, and occasionally pain at insertion site. I haven&#039;t had a period in a couple months and while I like it, I also like my period, as it lets me know I&#039;m not pregnant. I&#039;m constantly afraid I&#039;m pregnant because my period comes so late or won&#039;t come at all. Being a college student it&#039;s great to have because I&#039;d forget to take the pill but I can&#039;t handle the side affects. Ive also read about the implant &quot;implanting&quot; itself into the muscle of your arm...that raises lots of red flags for me."
