"it is effective. however the weight gain of 30 lbs now i need to lose 60lbs.  the headaches dizziness and tiredness.  feeling hungry constantly and occasional numbness in my hands and feet. i am thinking of trying implanon but the reviews don&#039;t look so great. would prefer getting my tubes tied as we have a nice size family. i have been on it 13 months since my youngest was born and i hate that i eat and feel pregnant even though i am not."
