"i&#039;ve had my implanon in for about 3 months now and i really like it so far. i&#039;ve had no weight gain that wasn&#039;t my own fault, im not irritable, i spot from time to time but nothing major. before this i had been on depo for about 2 years and i did really well with that one also. i would suggest that you try depo before you get the insert because they have similar side affects. if you do well with depo you will do well with the insert."
