"i had implanon put in over a year ago, march of 2011 (it&#039;s august 2012 now.)
pros:
-you can forget about it
-no estrogen (i think that messing with that hormone is really not good.)
-it was much cheaper than anything else. i just had to pay my deductible.
cons:
-i&#039;ve had my period for what feels like forever. in the beginning, it was just slightly longer than my normal period and slowly increased to where i&#039;m lucky to have 3 days without it in 3 months
-i&#039;ve had minor hair thinning, nothing noticeable to others
-i feel more depressed
-i&#039;ve gotten many more urinary tract infection (probably from such long periods)
-i&#039;ve gained 35 pounds and cannot seem to lose any of it.
it&#039;s good for some and not for others!"
