I’ve been considering going on birth control for a few months and am considering the implant. Though I’m not sexually active yet, I tend to get pretty bad cramps that are getting worse as I get older and don’t want to keep relying on Tylenol. My close friends suggested going on birth control to help with the cramps and some other symptoms I have. The research I’ve done pretty much all day the same things: minimal if any weight gain, may cause some acne, 99% effective, fewer and or lighter periods but may be irregular. Does anyone have this and have any personal experiences they care to share?
