Experience

Having been on the pill for 5 years I decided to switch to the implant and am very pleased that I did. Although my skin has gotten worse, the ease of the implant far outweighs this. I also had a period for 2.5 months when I first had the implant, but haven’t bled at all since so it’s worth it.
