"i tried implanon in 2010 because i was on the pill prior and that whole ordeal made me feel disgusting with stomach upset, weight gain, painful cramps. i just got my implanon replaced for the 3rd time a week ago. (i&#039;m going on year #7 with this). i know that the dr. i go to agrees that women either love it or hate it. right before i got it replaced for the third time, i started getting real periods again. my face started to have bad acne all over again. in my experience, i lose weight with implanon. my boobs actually get bigger. i never experience cramps while on implanon. usually i go at least half a year without experiencing the spotting other users have described (it&#039;s been minimal). my experience has been very positive."
