I wish I had known side effects sooner! I wish I could sue for pain and suffering. Going on 2 years of vagina, itchiness and dryness. Never knew these were potential side effects and I always thought some other was wrong with me turns out it was the birth control.

The only thing I liked about the implant was how relatively painless getting it inserted and removed was compared to an IUD. Other than that, my almost two year experience with this birth control was terrible. I had two periods a month and had to go on birth control pills on top of the implant to help with the irregular bleeding. My libido completely vanished and I was constantly irritated especially toward my poor undeserving husband. I didn’t realize how much this thing had affected my marriage until I got off of it. He noticed a change in my mood the same week I got off of it. The implant practically made me abstinent rendering it useless to even have. It made me feel like intimacy was a chore. I would never get it again. I regret not taking it out sooner.
