"i had the implanon inserted in june 2011 and had it taken out recently in june 2014 when my three year mark was up. i&#039;m giving it a six because it did prevent pregnancy in my case. pros from my experience: no periods &amp; no pregnancies.
cons from my experiences: 80lbs weight gained(i also had some family issues, work &amp; school. not blaming it all on the birth control). no sex drive at all i was never in the mood, and my feet seemed to get bigger. other than that its a great birth control. it works effectively on other people. some have no weight gain and some do. i do recommended this because it does work great for preventing pregnancy!"
