"i&#039;ve had the implanon for about 6 months now. the insertion hurt a little bit but it was definitely worth it - the next 3 years of worry free birth control. i absolutely love not getting a period anymore and i truly trust this method enough to not need the reassurance of a period. the only things i do not like about implanon are the mood swings and weight fluctuation (about 5 lbs more or less). people close to me have really noticed a change in my irritability. i wouldn&#039;t consider myself a extremely bad by any means, it is tolerable, i just demand a lot more alone time than i used to. i would recommend this birth control to anyone."
