"i first got on the implanon because i am not good at remembering to take pills. i loved it at first and after 3 months my periods stopped! but i have been on it for 10 months now and have gained 50lbs so i am going tomorrow to have it removed. the weight gain is depressing. i have no other complaints other than the weight gain. the insertion was not painful and you don&#039;t even realize you have it unless you touch it."
