"i&#039;m 17 years old and my mom works at an ob/gyn office and had me get implanon.  the only negative part was it bruised for about a week and my stomach was a little upset the next day.  i have gained no weight or have had my mood effected or any other bad side effects.  my sex drive is just as high as it has been.  i love it because i have not gained weight, i have light spotting to no periods and it&#039;s stuck in my arm so i don&#039;t have to remember my birth control daily."
