"i&#039;ve had the implant for about 5 months now. the first day i got it i totally felt the hormones kicking in. that&#039;s was interesting for my bf lol. i haven&#039;t had bad acne as others have stated. i do break out once in a while, but that was already normal for me. i also didn&#039;t gain weight, maybe a pound or two but nothing drastic. first 2 months i didn&#039;t bleed at all which was awesome. i did begin to spot after for about 2 weeks when i decided to take some of my remaining birth control pills which actually took care of the problem. but i&#039;m now on month 5 and i started spotting again. it&#039;s not so bad but i&#039;ll probably continue to take the pills to get rid of it. not a big fan of bleeding. but other than that, very pleased with it."
