"i got the implanton ... the insertion wasn&#039;t too painful the numbing stuff they put in first hurt the worst! i had a lot of spotting at first but now i don&#039;t really have a period at all. i have noticed a little weight gain but nothing too bad. the worst side effect is my loss in sex drive. it is gone but i&#039;m hoping for my boyfriends sake it comes back. all in all i like the implanon and think that it is a great choice for someone like me who will not remember to take a pill at the same time every day."
