So I just had my 6 week pp check up. My gyn asked what kind of birth control I want. We are thinking about doing the arm implant because he said it has a 99.95% success rate. So can anyone tell me their experience with it or if there is a better type of birth control. We really don't want to have another baby for atleast 3-5 years
So would you recommend it? You bled like the day you got it and it lasted for weeks? Just wondering what to expect lol. I'm breastfeeding so I didn't really expect to have a period for the first year. @autumnsmomma125
It didn't make me gain weight. I had it twice. Once in high school and it worked perfect the only bad thing was i bled a lot like a period. Like I'd bleed for weeks.. But that was the only problem that time. The second time i got it was after i had my daughter last july and i only had it 2 weeks because it made me very sick. I guess having my daughter made my body reject it. But after only 2 weeks i got it removed but still bled for a month after... Ive heard after the first year you stop having periods completly but i only had it a year the first time So I'm not sure.
Oh okay lol I've never had anything other than the pill. I hated it because I would always forget to take it. So does it work good? Did it make you gain weight? @jasholbert
Well it may be different if youre breast feeding. And No it didnt start that day. It started like a week later like a normal period but lasted for weeks.. Instead of only bleeding 1 week a month i was only NOT bleeding 1 week a month.. But as for bc it works really well! I loved it the first time And just dealt with the bleeding lol i would recommend it but warn ppl about the possible side effects. Not everyone bleeds like i did. I've heard of some women not bleed at all while on it. I just wasn't one of those lucky ones lol
