"i was really nervous about trying implanon because of all the reviews i read.  i was especially nervous about weight gain since i just lost all of my baby weight.  after sharing my concerns with my doctor, she said that &quot;just putting hormones in someone&#039;s arm is not going to make them gain weight.  there has to be other factors involved, like not watching what you&#039;re eating, emotional eating, etc.&quot;  she told me that since i have been pretty aware of my weight and never had many issues with excessive eating, she didn&#039;t think i needed to worry. i decided to go ahead and give it a try.  i am so happy that i did.  so far, no mood swings, no abnormal bleeding, and i especially love that i don&#039;t have to remember to take a pill everyday!"
