"i have been on the implanon since the 31/01/2015. 

for the first two or so months i didn&#039;t experience a period, they recommend that you get the implanon inserted while on your period and i did. 

since having the implanon in i have had little to no side effects that i can attribute to the contraception. my sex drive is normal, i get a bit more back-acne than i am used to but cleanser has sorted that out quite well, i have gained around 8lbs but the weight gain is a result of a lifestyle change (eating less healthily and moving less due to studying at a computer) and i&#039;ve found that when i go to the gym and eat a little better it shifts quite easily. it cost $37.05 for the actual implant and the associated visits were free. i love it! :)"
