Birth Control
"I love this birth control. It&#039;s more effective than female sterilization. I never have to worry about pregnancy and it is absolutely no maintenance. I know some girls are hesitant because it&#039;s weird having something under your skin but you CANNOT feel it there. The insertion procedure is quick and painless except for the pinch of the shot from the local anesthetic.  Since insertion 6 months ago, I&#039;ve gotten my period 3 times - but just very light spotting. The first two times the spotting lasted 10 days, this last time it lasted for only 2 or 3. I did gain 10 lbs since insertion but it&#039;s hard to know if this was caused by the implant or by going out to eat/drink more often with my boyfriend or both. I have had no problems losing the weight."
