"i&#039;ve been using this product from sept. 2013. i&#039;ve had it in when i was 18. today, i finally got the implanon taken out of me! i&#039;m still not pregnant which is the big deal here so the contaceptive did it&#039;s job and i&#039;m happy with that! the reason why i didn&#039;t leave it in there for another year is due to weight gain. i was always hungry! i have gained about 20kg in 2 years period. at my lowest 68kg and now 84kg...  i&#039;m 170cm but it&#039;s still horrible! i tried to lose weight while on the implanon but it was proved impossible. i would even gain weight even if i didn&#039;t eat anything! it was crazy.  everything else was relatively ok!"
