"first had the implant when i was 24, it was great, lost weight, periods lighter and less painful, bit of acne but i&#039;ve always had that. 2nd one was rubbish. but my 3rd and current one i had fitted when i was 29 (i&#039;m 31 now) its just been awful. firstly i&#039;ve piled weight on like mad, i don&#039;t have the healthiest eating habits but i don&#039;t have the worst either. i&#039;ve put on nearly 2 stone!! considering i do regular sport and exercise!! then there is the mood swings and the anger, i&#039;m just horrible!! irregular bleeding and spotting, cramps all the time, lower back ache, greasy skin and hair, anxiety (which i already had but this has made it worse). seems like if your lucky your ok on the first one, then it seems to go down hill after that. avoid!!!!!"
