"i got the implanon 6 weeks after my son was born and i have to say that i am loving it! it was almost painless, last for 3 years and i don&#039;t have to try and remember to take a pill everyday. i had not read any reviews before i chose to go with the implanon, but i have had previous family and in-laws that have had it and they said that they loved it so i figured i would give it a shot. i have not had any weight gain or side effects except for some food cravings every now and then. my periods have almost completely stopped in the 2 months that i have had the implanon. i am very pleased with this birth control and would recommend it to anybody who has kids and have things to do other than worry about a pill everyday or a shot every few months!"
