"have had implanon for 4 months now after ditching the depo shot. (made me gain 30lbs in one month. not joking and i&#039;m a skinny person and made no health changes) so far have lost 10 of those pounds on implanon. have not had a period or spotting.
the procedure: was easy. the lidocane stings like burning nettles, the rest was easy. only had a tiny bruise and a tiny scar from the needle (which looks like a mole honestly). 
side effects: only one i&#039;ve had is achy breasts. like you don&#039;t even want people near them in case they bump into them. all my friends on implanon have experienced the same thing. 
i love implanon. won&#039;t change birth control ever again!"
