"i was put on implanon a month ago and i was told that there might be some weight gain (like 5 pounds) or a chance of depression and irregular period for a while. let me tell you something. they&#039;re spot on with weight gain, personality changes, and irregular period. i usually have a heavy flow without cramps. now, i can&#039;t move without feeling like i have ebola. i&#039;m bleeding profusely. and worst of all, the blood smells 20x worse than usual. i&#039;ve gained 10 pounds, bled constantly, and my emotions are going haywire. if anyone says you won&#039;t have a period, they&#039;re right. your vagina literally turns into a scene from sweeney todd. feels like it too."
