"i have a had the implanon since july 2015 and although i love not having periods, i have gained some weight. i&#039;m not sure if the implant has a huge impact on my weight, i started working out so if i see more gain then lost i plan to remove it. my eating habit is smaller which is good (i eat very small portions now) thanks to the implant. i also lost some of my sex drive and i hope working out helps bring it back. my boyfriend loves it but dislikes the lack of sex drive."
