"i have been using implanon for over a year now and i really like it. i only got my period the first month when my body was getting used to it and have not had it since. i have gained about 8 pounds in the last year but i&#039;m not sure if it was from the implanon. either way it is not bad.  i like implanon because i don&#039;t have to think about taking it. i used to have the nuvaring and would even forget the dates for that so it is nice to have a birth control that i can&#039;t forget to take."
