"i have had implanon for about two and a half years now. when i first had the implanon put in it hurt just a little and my arm was very tender for about five days. my first two years of having the implanon in wasn&#039;t bad at all. i had normal periods that lasted four to six days a month. i never had weight gain i actually lost about 15 pounds. i had acne when i had the implanon put in and it cleared my acne up. i do have breakouts once and a while. but i am in my last year and i hate it now. i have been bleeding for six months now. the bleeding will stop for about an hour then i will bleed again. this is my only problem with the implanon. i would say try it because everyones body is different. if you don&#039;t like it you can always get it removed."
