"this birth control has been great.  i&#039;ve used the pill, depo, as well as the nuvaring but this is by far the best.  i&#039;ve had it for 3 months now and haven&#039;t had any problems.  on other birth control methods i&#039;ve experienced mood swings, irregular bleeding and weight gain.  i highly recommend implanon if you&#039;re tired of side effects.  it&#039;s also the best option for smokers.  the insertion caused some anxiety for me but it was over quickly and essentially painless."
