"i got implanon put in about a year ago. the first month or two i had light spotting for a few weeks, then after that my period and any bleeding has stopped altogether.
i have not experienced any weight gain.. i&#039;ve actually lost about 20 lbs but i have an active lifestyle and eat sensibly so i can&#039;t say this helped me lose weight but it may have. 
i have been struggling with acne for years and it has been under control the past few years, so i was worried about a new birth control would do to my skin, but my face acne had no changes. my only complaint about implanon is that i&#039;ve started to get some shoulder and back acne. 
 i don&#039;t feel overly hormonal like i have on my past oral contraceptives. i really enjoy this birth control overall."
