"i&#039;ve had the implanon for one year and i&#039;m getting it taken out next week, cant wait! it is really great for birth control, was free to get and i didn&#039;t get a period for the whole year... but the side effects are not worth it!! i have gained 15kgs! (i always used to be skinny) i get headaches and body pains almost everyday. oh and the mood... i get anxiety and depression so badly this past year. i went from a fit, skinny, happy, normal 22 year old... and now i am chubby, miserable and sore everyday. do not get this."
