Any opinions on the birth control implant that goes in your arm , supposed to last for 3 years ? I'm…

I hate it but bc effects everyone differently

what do you hate about it

I love it. I've had both the shot and nexplanon and like the implant better. I gained a lot in the shot though. That's weird they said you had to be on the shot 6 months first that doesn't really mane since. If you don't like it it take 5 minutes to take it out all they do it numb you and push it out that's it

It's given me depression, mood swings, decreased libido, made sex extremely painful, made me lose weight to the point of looking unhealthy, and I can't gain it back. I'm even on protein powder and still can't gain back.

all of which are possible side effects

i have the marena or what ever its called the little T one and It works great ! I haven't had any extra mood swings or anything I bleed for like 2 months but other then that its great. you should try it if it dont work

too many people that i know says that their muscle grew around it and they ended up getting it removed. i had depo shot for 2 years and loved it shot every 3 months in arm or side. it was best birth control i had been on i lost 40lbs while on it

I hate it. Went 3 weeks straight bleeding heavy, had to take hormonal imbalance pills, and I spot every day. Quite disgusting. Also no sex drive. I feel bad for my partner because he thinks Im not into him anymore. Also been having mood swings. Who knows if they are connect.

Did you get it removed yet @chhaya

Oh wow .. the only side effect I'm getting is that my period always lasted 5 days exactly , but now I'm on my first one since going on birth control and I'm on my 10th day >:( Also having a little bloating , but that could be from my period

love the depo shot no period on light spotting lol

No I haven't gotten it removed yet, I just got my insurance this morning. @alayna22

be careful with the depo shot i was on it and had my son in November while on it

We use condoms , just got birth control for backup

I tried so many different things and bad stuff just kept happening to me weight gain hair loss long periods heavy bleeding u name it I went thru it...even tho my and me sons father haven't had any slip ups at all and my son will be one soon I just keep a box of plan b for a just in case moment

I got pregnant with the depo shot, had just had my daughter too.
