Oh dude I understand that feel. I got one of those arm implants to control my severe cramps but sometimes I end up with double or triple the length of a normal period. Forcing myself through a lack of motivation and fatigue is my life now ;;

@llama:
Yeah its a little stick that's inserted in your upper-inner arm like a shot and it has birth control in it, which gradually is fed to you over time. Lasts about 3 years (they SAY its 5 now, but the paperwork that comes with it only guarantees 3) and is also a very strong contraceptive.
Anyway yeah, its great for lessening or removing cramps but there's a chance of it having all sorts of other symptoms. Depends on the person and how their body reacts to it. When I first got it, I had a lot of like.. pregnancy symptoms xD morning sickness, tenderness, weight gain and cravings, missed periods for like 3 months and other nonsense. But then as my body adjusted its like, yea lets just bleed forever k

I contemplate how much its worth having since my body feels unstable since having it in. all it saves me is excruciating pain (usually was one day out of the month) and i dont worry about preggers

@llama:
what is this spiral?
and yeah, half of the reason was for the strong contraception for me. I'm like, deathly terrified of live birth and pregnancy. Even though I'm not stupid about things I just don't like that the standard methods are only around 75% effective. Too slim, noty.
I'll only ever be a mother if I adopt xD

I dont think it would be a bad idea to get tested. Or at least to talk with a doctor about it O:

@llama:
OH that thing! I've more commonly heard it called a T-implant or IUD. But the latter is just an abbreviation of what you said, cause standard english speakers cant handle medical words xD
but yeah I think they can have similar symptoms. Any birth control probably could, I think. There's also a cheaper option for shots that I almost did. Each shot lasts 3 months and you can use them at home (needles dont bother me). I didn't wanna risk forgetting to take a shot and end up with worse cramps, which my doctor said is very likely if I stop taking birth control suddenly.

@llama:
Ahh yeah, I think nausea is a common side effect o:
Maybe your doctor would have some good advice to tackle that. I haven't had a doctor in a while cause its really expensive without insurance here. so sadly my birth control was nooooooot cheap >>

@ruby:
