"i was a bit hesitant with getting implanon because of all the negative reviews i&#039;ve read. my main fear was weight gain. but after a few weeks i have had no side effects. none! i haven&#039;t bled or spotted but it isn&#039;t the time of the month yet. no increase in appetite or cravings and hence no unexplainable weight gain. 

the insertion process was a bit painful, but nothing unbearable but depends on your pain tolerance of course. the area is sore for a few days and bruising lasted about 2 weeks for me. all in all it is a great contraceptive method especially if you forget or can&#039;t bear taking the pill everyday! i must emphasize, please don&#039;t be frightened by all the negative reviews. every female is different!"
