"i&#039;ve had the implant for about 6-7 months now. it is very effective. i haven&#039;t had a single period since but i do have excruciating headaches, i get blurred vision and hard of hearing with them. i&#039;ve also gained a tremendous amount of weight. my normal weight is 170-180lbs. i&#039;m currently at 250lbs. nothing has changed in eating or exercise habits but i&#039;m still gaining weight like crazy. i will be getting the implant out this week. i wouldn&#039;t wish the pain on anyone.
its great for not getting pregnant wise but the side affects for me have been unbearable."
