Overall it manages my endometriosis very well by preventing periods. It also is very effective in preventing pregnancy without any other methods needed. I barely notice it, my mood is better because I'm not going through painful horrible endometriosis cycles anymore. I took it out and was still able to get pregnant a few months later when I decided I wanted to. Any side effects are significantly better than the stuff I deal with for my condition. Really it makes me feel secure, more stabilized, and in significantly less pain.

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.

I am a man (this site needs to get with the times and stop calling uterus and vagina care "womens health") on testosterone so im not sure if the acne and weight changes are due to the testosterone or the implant. same with periods - the implant stopped my periods but im sure T helped. I get cramps somewhat randomly, especially around the time I'm meant to remove and replace the implant (5 years). I like that it keeps me from getting pregnant and does not contain estrogen since again I am a man.
