"i&#039;ve had implanon since aug of 2015 and i must say, it works really well. for the first 2 - 3 months, i didn&#039;t get a period, but i did spot. i spotted about 2 x a week, but after that it went away. i love this method of birth control, however, the only thing i really dislike is the fact that it makes you eat sooo much and then you gain weight. not sure if it happens to everyone, but that&#039;s what i experienced. it made me eat a lot and a lot of weight was gained. but overall, i love the birth control method."
