"i got this birth control when i was 17. i am now 19 and i can&#039;t wait to get it out !! when i first got on it i had crazy cravings and couldn&#039;t stop eating. but no weight gain. mood swings are horrible. i only got a period in transition to switching from the depo shot to this implant. it was the worst period ever. it lasted about a month and was constant heavy bleeding. but haven&#039;t seen one since and that&#039;s the main reason i&#039;ve stayed on it. i didn&#039;t realize my steady weight gain though.. i went from 160 lbs to 215 in less than a year. so i started working out a lot more and drinking a lot more water and changing diet. nothing is working i&#039;ve only gained more weight!!"
