"i wouldn&#039;t recommend. i didn&#039;t get pregnant however it did throw my hormones off &amp; i gained weight (25lbs) from having this product inside me for years. it frequently threw off my menstrual cycle causing my hormones to do the same &amp; this usually extended my period. i had to take birth control pills along with implanon due to the longer periods. i wish i would have just stuck with regular birth control pills but i was scared i wouldn&#039;t remember to take it due to my busy schedule however now i set a reminder on my cell phone that goes off everyday. i recommend you try this before putting the implanon in your body also it was hell getting it out being that it moved around &amp; more."
