"the first implanon worked phenomenal. no periods, but, i did gain a lot of weight over the 3 years of having this birth control. i&#039;ve had a high increase in appetite, and lost energy. but, i decided to get another one. i&#039;ve now had the second one since september 28th, 2013. and now i&#039;ve been bleeding for 19 days as of today. i&#039;ve lost about 15 pounds in the last 3 weeks of the bleeding. and my appetite is still increasing. i have a little more energy, but, not as much as i did before ever getting the implanon. i always have noticed that i&#039;m kinda &quot;dry&quot; down there, as before it was very lubricated... i&#039;ve also noticed that i&#039;ve had a lot of mood swings, and they&#039;re more often than not.
