"i&#039;ve had my implanon for 3 years and i absolutely love it! i&#039;m getting a new one in a couple of weeks. the best thing about it is no periods! i had spotting for the first 6 months which was difficult but i&#039;m glad i stuck with it because i love not having to worry about my birth control. i&#039;m glad i didn&#039;t read any reviews before i got it though because i feel like some bad side effects may be a placebo effect. acne, mood swings, weight gain, even lowered sex drive could all be things being blamed on implanon when really implanon is not the cause."
