"i was on the pill (yaz) for 3 years and it wasn&#039;t too bad but i am terrible at remembering to take it so i decided to switch to something more permanent for a while and i&#039;m glad i went with implanon. my period faded away within 2 months and i haven&#039;t got it since. also, no mood swings or morning sickness like i used to get with the pill. my first month with it i lost 13 pounds. my metabolism has sped up and it&#039;s harder to gain weight so that was nice too."
