birth control question

I'm not sure the name of it but the type that is inserted in your arm, its like a bar they surgically put in you. Has anyone tried it and what was your experiences with it?

I would assume it'd scar me cuz they're basically made of the same material.. :( I had mersa on my bum and had a scar in the form of the big bandaid for like 5 months after removing the bandaid. At first I thought it was just the adhesive stuck on my skin but it never washed off. And I don't really like the idea of sticking anything up my hoohoo lol. Ima keep looking for other options. Thanks for the help ladies

I had implanon and gained 30lbs and broke out everywhere. I bled very heavily for the full three months I had it. It just made me really sick and my liver enzymes were elevated and my spleen was enlarged.

I'm on paragard now.  It's the non hormonal copper iud. It's good for ten years.

Did you have normal periods before? If you don't mind me asking. I had irregular periods that were quite stressful (always thinking I'm pregnant when i wasn't) so I want something that will help my periods come every month, or atleast not make them worse
