"i had implanon inserted in march, 2008 about 6 weeks after my son&#039;s birth.
- periods are very infrequent (i skip 3-6 months at a time)
- periods last 4-6 weeks (as opposed to my normal 4-6 days)
- weight gain (i weigh as much today as the day i walked into the hospital to deliver my son!)
- mood swings (i&#039;m nearly as emotional as during pregnancy)
- dizziness (i get light headed/dizzy quite often). 

i loved the convenience, but the side effects have become too much for me.  i&#039;m getting it removed this week."
