"avoid this if you can. i had my son in april and lost all of my baby weight and then some within the first month postpartum. at my 6 week ppd appt i decided to get the implant due to ease and effectiveness. insertion easy and i was really looking forward to getting intimate again with my husband. unfortunately though, two weeks later and my sex drive was gone, i was having anger outbursts daily and i fell in a deep depression. i began getting acne and gained 20 lbs rapidly. i realized that it had to be my bc so i had it removed. two weeks later and i can safely say that my sanity, relationship and body are all finally healing. sex drive is rockin, i can smile, my energy is back and i&#039;ve lost 6lbs!!"
