"i really wanted to love this because the benefits are pretty sweet. haven&#039;t had my period in 6 months, sex any time without worrying, and i can&#039;t forget to take it. however, i have experienced a lot of negative consequences when it comes to this. since getting it implanted 4/2015, i have gained a total of 19lbs. my doctor asked how much my lifestyle has changed, and if anything--it&#039;s gotten better. back in the spring i was eating out all the time, but since the summer i&#039;ve been working like crazy, exercising more and more, and eating healthier. all in all *i* would not do it again. however, it affects different people different ways. i would never say don&#039;t try it. talk with your doc and use your best judgement."
