"i wanted to write something here, because after reading all the bad reviews i almost didn&#039;t get implanon. but i am so glad i did. i have had implanon for four months. the first month i did have three weeks of spotting, which was rough. but after that i have only had very minor spotting once a month like a period. i don&#039;t have any of the period pain i used to (headaches, horrible cramps) and i am much less moody as well (i used to burst into tears on the spot). i haven&#039;t gained any weight at all, although the doctor did say average weight gain in the first year in one pound. i can handle that after being on natazia and gaining 30. i love implanon. it&#039;s easy and i barely have a period at all. don&#039;t shy away because of bad reviews."
