"i&#039;ve had the implanon since august 2007.  no pain when inserted.  i&#039;ve been having my periods twice a month for 7 days each time since i got it.  i&#039;ve gained 25 pounds and have hair loss.  i get headaches, and back aches around time for my monthly cycle. libido is gone, no desire to have sex.  needless to say i am now single.  it&#039;s time for it to come out, but i&#039;m thinking about getting it again because the reviews i&#039;ve read for other birth controls have me scared!"
