"i love implanon so far. it has been a year since having implanon inserted. i do have occasional back and chest break outs but just a pimple here or there. nothing more than 2 or 3 at a time. instead of weight gain i have had weight loss without trying at all. normally during the winter i put on anywhere from 5-10lbs. over the last year my weight has decreased by 10 lbs. initially my mood swings were ridiculous. now i may just be used to the mood swings, not sure! i haven&#039;t had my period since before insertion. it&#039;s worth a shot!"
