"i&#039;ve had the implant a year and a half. for most of the first year i had no periods but spotting for months. for the last 7bor so months i haven&#039;t had a period or spotting. that&#039;s the great part about it. i&#039;m getting it removed because i&#039;ve gained a lot of weight. i ate and was active the same amount prior to getting the implant and was 130. i&#039;m now at 155. i started eating better, drinking only water, exercise more and i continue to gain weight. i&#039;m covered in stretch marks now and until being on nexplanon i&#039;ve never had even one stretch mark. sex drive is non existent. moods are all over the place. i understand every body will react differently but i don&#039;t suggest this."
