"since getting the implant in i had a few longer periods, and now i haven&#039;t gotten it for a couple months. that has been the only advantage so far for me. i was always skinny, then gained 30  pounds from this. being in my 20&#039;s i was horrified. i have to get all new clothes because of mine not fitting, and i was so embarrassed to even go out. i&#039;ve also never had acne before, and now i&#039;ve been having major breakouts constantly. i also have no sex drive anymore, i have no energy, and i have been very depressed which has never happened to me before. i am now getting this removed after 5 months of having it. overall, i would not recommend this option. but of course, this doesn&#039;t happen to everyone."
