"i&#039;ve had implanon in for almost a year. since i&#039;ve had it i haven&#039;t gone for more than 2 days without spotting, will have a heavy period for up to 5 weeks, migraines, muscle pains, joint aches, acne, incredible mood swings, will cry for no reason, extreme anxiety where everything around me goes hazy and i feel like i&#039;m moving in slow motion, my breasts constantly ache and i&#039;ve gained about 35 pounds. while it&#039;s great to not have to worry about taking a pill daily, the side effects aren&#039;t worth it.
