"i&#039;ve never done anything like this but i decided to share my story. i was on implanon birth control for two and a half years. i got it put in three weeks after my daughter was born. i weighed 155 at the time. i tried everything to lose weight i ate healthy and worked out daily from doing zumba work out videos and running two miles a day. i just couldn&#039;t lose weight. my periods were awful i would be on mine for at least 14 days out of the month every month. i also had really bad headaches at least twice a month and the mood swings were horrible i just wasn&#039;t myself. so i finally got the implant taken out a week ago today and i feel so much better i have lost ten pounds without working out or changing what i eat."
