    i have had the implant that goes in your arm for 6 years now. it feels like an injection to get put in, and lasts for 3 years so you dont have to think about it. ive had no side effects and would recommend it, unless you are planning another child within the next 3 years, then maybe stick with the pill so you can come off it again.
